Reviews of Funk Bands available in Suffolk

5/5 from 759 reviews
Photo of The New Mojos The New Mojos "I’d like to live a 5 star review for the New Mojo band fronted by Paul and Jo. They played at my wedding at Hever Castle this last summer and did an excellent job. They traveled all the way from Norfolk to Kent. They didn’t only play but they supported us in other ways through the wedding. They all looked amazing and they played beautifully even if we run out of time due to the wedding running late. I’d like to say a very huge thank you to them from the bottom of my heart." Based in Norwich, England 20th September 2026 Liz - Wedding Photo of The John Preston Tribute Band The John Preston Tribute Band "The grooviest part of Saturday night was the early evening slot from this tight little funky punky power trio.. From New Normal disco with deeply sardonic word play, to the rocktastic vastness of Psychopox. The John Preston Tribute Band blow holes in official and official alternative narratives whilst their grooves and riffs induce altered states to facilitate their propaganda deconstructions.. A must for weddings, corporate do's and dusty festivals..." Based in King's Lynn, England Barney Biggs - The Harlequin Fayre Photo of Let’s Get It On - The Motown Experience Let’s Get It On - The Motown Experience "Saw this band in November and they filled the dance floor! Really fantastic evening had by all. I highly recommend them" Based in Stevenage, England Emma Purvey - The Cannon - ticketed event Photo of Project F Project F "Project F were unbelievable, from start to finish. The song choices were spot on, they sounded incredible, their presence was brilliant and they kept everyone dancing all night. Plus, to top it off, they were all such lovely people who kept in touch with you from booking them, all the way up to the event, asking if there were certain songs we wanted or how we wanted them to set up or what to wear etc. We couldn’t recommend Project F enough. They were truly fantastic!!" Based in Margate, England 18th October 2026 Curtis - Wedding Booker Photo of Radius 45 Radius 45 "Thank you Radius 45 for an absolutely superb performance for New Year's Eve. We've had nothing but praise from all of our customers. Everyone was up, dancing and singing along. We'll definitely be booking you guys for future events. Thanks again." Based in Peterborough, England Laura Donaldson - Onesto Group Photo of Wiseiris Wiseiris "I've seen wiseiris perform before and he also is based near us. It was a no brainer to hire him for our event. Communication leading up to the event was perfect with everything laid out. He arrived early to the venue for soundcheck and delivered an amazing set. If you want a multi talented musician with songs you can feel I would recommend wiseiris in a heart beat and we can't wait to have him back to perform for us in 2026."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from £160 to £2,650+, with an average of £850. 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.
