About

The Function Band

Couples choose between two formats. DJ Live combines a DJ with singers and live instruments, starting at six or eight musicians: a typical six-piece has a DJ, guitarist, saxophonist and three vocalists. The ShowBand is a produced live show that starts as a nine-piece with drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, trumpet, saxophone and three vocalists. Either line-up can grow to twenty with extra vocalists, percussion, brass or strings.

The repertoire runs from soul and Motown to modern pop, R&B, dance and disco, and each set list is tailored to the crowd. A typical wedding has a short entrance set, a live dinner set and an evening of party music.
