Artist Biography

Who Are LeFunk! Party & Function Band?
A popular Manchester based function band playing covers of classic pop, funk, soul and disco hits, we provide unbeatable quality and value for money with a dancefloor driven repertoire honed through years of playing weddings, birthdays, festivals, corporate events and clubs.

In addition to the live band, we can provide all the recorded music you'll need, a DJ service, disco and stage lighting and your own microphone for speeches and announcements. We'll build your ideal playlists in advance, and also bring thousands of hits to satisfy your guests’ requests on the day.

Wedding First Dance or Special Requests
If you would like us to perform a song that isn't in the band's current repertoire, this is almost always possible. This could be your first dance, or a special song for the occasion.

Public Liability and Emergency Cover
We have deputy musicians who rehearse with us and can usually cover for last minute emergencies. We have Public Liability Insurance of up to £10million
Our electrical equipment is PAT tested each year.

Planning, Clothing, Playing
As a professional wedding and party band LeFunk! will adapt to the flow or character of your event. Set lengths can be adjusted to fit in with auctions, buffets, raffle results and speeches. Clothing can be funky or formal. Arrival and set up times can usually be arranged to minimise disruption to guests. When you book LeFunk! we don't just turn up on the night and play - we work with you, from the moment you book us, to help realise your plans.

Classical/Acoustic Music for your Party or Wedding
Additional, more subtle, music can be performed by members of the band during the earlier phases of an event such as welcome drinks or the ceremony itself. LeFunk!'s keyboard player is the organist at a Manchester city centre church and could perform at your wedding ceremony if required! Requests may be possible on the day if music can be provided, or advance notice is given.

Repertoire
The main band's repertoire is almost entirely comprised of classic dance hits.
We cover songs from the 60s right up to the present day, including plenty of 60s soul and 70s disco. Other genres including Indie, American Songbook, Easy Listening, Country, Classical and Contemporary Pop can be performed by our band members as an optional extra.

Volume? Too Loud? Sound Limiter?
LeFunk! play as loud as you decide. Weddings and birthdays are social occasions. We think guests should be able to hear each other! By switching to our electronic drum kit, even the full band can play at singing voice level . At venues with a sound limiter there is therefore no danger of us triggering a power cut. Of course if you do want it loud, we can crank it up for a floor thumping nightclub experience either with Mini-LeFunk! or the full band!

Venue & Event

What sort of Venues will you Play At?
We'll consider any venue as long as there is power and adequate protection from the elements. We've played at just about every conceivable type of venue from intimate house parties and cosy bar corners to major hotel suites, festivals and theatres. We will require suitable access and facilities to unload and bring our equipment in to the venue. Please note we will also decline requests to perform at venues where we believe the safety of the band, the band's equipment or guests may be at risk.
