Exceptional female-fronted 5-piece with optional horn section, playing floor-filling soul, rock and Motown as well as chilled-out lounge classics.

This female-fronted 5-piece play hard-hitting funk and ultra-dancable soul, making them perfect for anyone who loves to get grooving! They’re a cool and charming bunch, but they take their funk very seriously indeed – their musicianship is incredible, and guests have described them as the SAS of Soul! They’ve been providing a stomping soundtrack for weddings, parties and corporate events for ten years, so they’re experts at getting even the shyest guests on the dance floor straight away.

The band have toured the world. They have played hits by artists from Outkast and Lady Gaga to classics by Kool & The Gang and Huey Lewis and the News at hundreds of weddings, and entertained corporate clients including Cadbury’s, Coors Brewers, Tesco and Channel 4. They have played at venues such as The Jazz Café, Ronnie Scott’s and Café de Paris, and members of the band have played with Adele, Lemar, Joss Stone, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and many more!

For extra party punch, they can expand to an 8-piece by adding a sax, trumpet and trombone, creating the ultimate brass-powered entertainment. For quieter moments, they can draw on a repertoire of laid-back lounge classics.

What people say Help

  • Blinder of a party - Motherfunk were absolutely amazing! Everyone went totally nuts for them and they clearly enjoyed themselves too. Motherfunk are young and cool, and they were also punctual and polite. These guys are the SAS of Soul! Our guests were delighted and danced the night away. The musicianship was world class, amazing night!

  • I just wanted to send you a message to thank you and the rest of the band on an absolutely amazing performance at our wedding. Every person we have spoken to has commented on how brilliant you all were (even Roz who stole you mic to do her Amy Winehouse impression!!). You really did make our wedding complete and me and Sarah would like to thank you. The first dance rendition of Rule The World was absolutely first class. Thanks for the amazing memories you have given us. If you ever need someone to use as a reference then feel free to give my details out and if we ever need any music again, you will be the only band we think of. I would also expect to see a group as good as you at the top one day! Then I can say they played at my wedding.

  • I cannot speak highly enough of Motherfunk. Within minutes of being on stage they had everyone up dancing. Will use them again in the future for sure and people from the event were raving about them. Very cool and talented band.

    James, Wedding, Oxford
  • Just to say thanks so much for playing at our wedding you were totally fantastic! All of our guests thought you were great - every person at the wedding from 19 - 90 years old was up and dancing, you really catered for everyone! Thanks for being so flexible with the set/song lists and also for staying and playing late on the night - the guest could not get enough of you and lots of people have phoned us since to say how excellent the band was. If we ever have another big event you will definitely be our first choice! Thanks, you really made our wedding a day to remember and we would recommend you to anyone!

  • Just a quick note to say thanks to you and the rest of the band for playing on Saturday night. We loved the music and you got it absolutely right for the occasion. Thanks ever so much. I hope that we will get the chance to hear you again in the future. Do let us know if you have any open gigs in London.

    Robert, Wedding, London
  • Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed your sets. If anyone else over here is looking for a great band, we will certainly recommend you.

  • We just wanted to say a BIG thank you for playing at our wedding and for such a brilliant night! you are all so talented and it really made our reception just perfect. Thank you!!!!! All of our guests were raving about how good you were and how we managed to find such a fantastic band in Peterborough (obviously I told them you were not local!). And I know people were a bit slow to get up on the dance floor but once they did, they loved it! We can't thank you enough for such a perfect end to the day! We'll definitely be recommending you guys to anyone that will listen! Such a cool band! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
