Reviews of Funk Bands available in Groningen

5/5 from 662 reviews
Photo of Groove Recipe Groove Recipe "This band builds a bridge between pop, soul and funk from the 70's and 80's on one side, and the world of jazz on the other side. Great musicianship, fantastic arrangements and a very sophisticated sound. Highly recommended for jazz clubs and festivals!" Based in Groningen Marc de Vries - Jazzclub Photo of KirstenSax KirstenSax "When you organize a garden party for family and friends and you have beautiful weather, you think that everything is perfect. But the moment Kirsten started playing and the beautiful sounds of the saxophone echoed through the garden, you immediately feel that the party is truly completely right. Kirsten, thank you very much. We enjoyed your beautiful saxophone music. And what a nice and spontaneous person you are." Translated from Dutch Based in Apeldoorn, Gelderland (74 miles from Groningen) Chris - Party Photo of The Paris Plan Dj saxophone duo The Paris Plan Dj saxophone duo "We hired this DJ sax DJ bass formation to have exclusive entertainment for our guest, we got a lot of positive reactions! Thank you Paris Plan!" Based in Amsterdam, North Holland (91 miles from Groningen) PBL - Business meeting in Amsterdam Photo of Benga - Party Band Benga - Party Band "We booked Benga for our wedding, and we loved every second of the show! As we told the band after, 5 stars feels too little, and we would give them 7 if we could. From the get-go, Noam was on it with the organisation and the minute details, making it clear we were dealing with a professional crew and that we could relax on the day and let them do their thing. And that, they did! Tessa and the band were magical, with the perfect level of crowd interaction to get everyone dancing, our guests were over the moon, and so were we. I cannot recommend enough their energy, good mood, and sheer talent. Everything went far beyond our best hopes, and we just ended up getting the best party of our lives at our own wedding! PS: It also helps that they have pretty good taste in music and so chose to play banger after banger." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland (91 miles from Groningen) Louis Henry - Wedding Photo of Drunk’NFunk Drunk’NFunk "I've seen a few performances already. Every time, sparkling, energetic, and the fun just splashes off of it. Tasty music from excellent musicians who are well attuned to each other. Enjoying it again and again every time!" Translated from Dutch Based in Nijmegen, Gelderland (100 miles from Groningen) 21st October 2026 Ants Photo of Uptown Coverband Uptown Coverband "Wow, what a fantastic group! With a small lineup, Uptown Coverband managed to create a great atmosphere at the closing party of the European Guide and Scout Conference at the Maassilo. We received many positive reactions from the participants regarding the repertoire and the quality. The communication beforehand also went very smoothly. Kudos!"

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from €180 to €3,150+, with an average of €1,000. The main factors are band size, set duration and the style of funk. Line-ups with horn sections, backing vocalists and percussion tend to cost more than smaller guitar-driven combos.

The funk bands for hire perform funk, soul, disco, R&B and groove-driven music. Many funk bands cover classic hits alongside modern songs, creating a setlist that is focused on tight rhythms, brass hooks and getting the audience dancing.

Hiring funk bands is a popular choice for weddings, corporate parties, birthday celebrations, festivals and any event where a packed dance floor is the goal. Funk music has a broad, cross-generational appeal and is one of the most effective genres for keeping guests on their feet.

The funk bands on Gig Heaven range from compact four-piece groups to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and percussion. A bigger line-up delivers a fuller, more powerful sound, while a smaller band can suit tighter venues and budgets. Many bands offer flexible line-up options.

Most funk bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming all technical requirements with the band before booking.

Not always. Four and five-piece groups often work without one, leaning on guitar, keys and a strong rhythm section, while the larger acts carry brass as the defining sound. Horns cost more and need more stage, so the question is usually budget and space rather than repertoire.

Volume is manageable in most function rooms, as bands set up smaller and play with lighter dynamics when the space calls for it. Rooms with a noise limiter are the real constraint, particularly for drums and brass, which cannot be turned down the way amplified instruments can. Give the limiter level when enquiring and the band will say whether the booking works.

Most carry a playlist to run through their PA during breaks so the room does not fall quiet. Some will also take a list of tracks to use in those gaps. Where the gap matters, such as during a meal, agree the break times when booking rather than on the night.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
