Based in Swindon, England Rebecca - wedding Photo of The Groove Club Collective The Groove Club Collective "We booked these guys for my 30th birthday party and they were amazing! Great lively band, they were perfect in every way! 100% would recommend! Vocals were amazing, everyone commented on how good they were. They created a really great atmosphere. Made our night perfect ?" Based in Swindon, England Holly Larkins - 30th Birthday Photo of Chameleon jazz funk band Chameleon jazz funk band "Chameleon are a fantastic band! They make great music which they obviously enjoy as much as their audience do. Their demo tapes don't do them justice. Guests at our party included lots of musicians from a range of genres and all commented on how good this band is and how much they enjoyed their music. They're also nice people and very easy to deal with. They arrived in very good time and set up with no fuss. We cannot recommend them too highly."

Here is their review sent to Encore (who did the booking): Alex L, 1 hour ago Wedding in Blackfriars Priory, Ladybellegate St, Gloucester GL1 2HN, UKSean was our saxophonist for our elopement wedding and I can not fault him at all! He was so accommodating with our song requests/genre and even played a few songs for our toddler. Absolutely fantastic. The venue commented on how great he was and so did everyone we showed the videos to. Would 110% recommend and would love to have Sean again at another event. Thanks Sean! :)" Based in Bristol, England Alex L - I played at their "elopement" party Photo of Felonious Funk Felonious Funk "Thank you so much for being our wedding band!

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from £150 to £2,550+, with an average of £800. 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 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.

The funk bands in Cotswolds, England, United Kingdom 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
