About / Biography

The Groove Primitive is a group of experienced musicians playing a well curated selection of soul, funk, pop and jazz tunes with the emphasis on danceability. If there is one thing that is important to us it is the joy of playing a great groove and seeing people get up and dance!

Although our core line-up is a 5 piece band, we can engage additional members as required, subject to agreeing an appropriate additional fee.

As a duo, trio, or quartet, we can also provide live background music e.g. while guests arrive; again for an additional fee that would depend on the configuration of the band and the required playing time.

Additionally, if required, we can play recorded music before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves and can include any specific client requests notified to us in advance.

What information do you require about a venue?

As much as possible please! As a minimum, we need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Unless the venue has its own PA and/or lights, we bring our own PA system and a simple lighting rig.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves and can include any specific client requests notified to us in advance.

Performance Info

Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. There should be an alternative to play indoors if the weather is bad.

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
