Uncle Funk

Few bands these days can hold an audience spellbound for hours on end. Fewer still can ignite a party from their opening number, and simultaneously blow away even the most cynical of musos with their technical dexterity. And you’ll see a hell of a lot of bands before you witness an act who will invite their audience onstage, wear the sexiest outfits that wouldn’t have been allowed in the 70’s, leap offstage to join the crowd, and still brew up a disco storm as powerful as that of the mighty Uncle Funk… “Look out George Clinton!” warned the UK’s leading music magazine, Mojo “Uncle Funk is a collection of badass musical muthas who will stoke up the disco inferno until they reach glitter ball meltdown!” Classic Rock magazine added: “Uncle Funk left me so funked-up I was getting down for the up stroke!”

But in case you’re thinking that only music magazines can get down with Uncle, the praise goes on – even from the mainstream press. “Uncle Funk is the daddy of all tribute bands,” said the Sunday Express. “They strip it all down, shake it up and shove it on stage with camp attitude and tongues in cheeks. The thirsty audience lap it up!” raved The Observer. And the Sunday People said it all when they labelled the band “the single most ridiculous purveyors of funk, disco and the grooviest soul the UK has ever seen!” Are you getting the picture yet? Uncle Funk is a gig experience like no other – crazy enough to get any party started, but musically hot enough to keep the funk rolling all night, with every song a stone-cold classic from the heyday of the Good Times. And if you ain’t shaking your booty by the time Uncle Funk slip into the coolest dance moves known to man, beast or Afro, you will be when the disco inferno really hits its stride.

This killer combination is responsible for a trail of funked-up musical destruction that has seen venues of up to 6000 people dance till dawn and beyond.
