LeFunk! Wedding, Party & Function Band

LeFunk! is a highly acclaimed classic dancefloor covers band based in Manchester. 

The band is available in two formats, the 5 piece, or a compact trio, making LeFunk! the perfect choice for venue sizes ranging from the corner of a bar to large hotels and concert halls! They can also provide additional live classical piano or solo vocal performances as background music during the earlier phases of an event.

The band can provide a complete - one stop - live band, recorded music and PA solution for your entire event, including a DJ service, disco and stage lighting and your own microphone connected to the PA for you to make speeches and announcements. Once booked they'll do their best to build your ideal playlists in advance, but with immediate access to thousands of hits from the last 6 decades, they can also satisfy the vast majority of music requests on the day.

If you have a special song that you'd like to be played live but isn't in the band's repertoire the band will learn and play an additional song of your choice. This could for instance be a ballad for the ‘first dance’ at a wedding, or just another dance floor classic.

For additional peace of mind, the band has deputy musicians who rehearse with the band and can usually cover for last minute emergencies and has Public Liability Insurance of up to £10million. Many venues are now insisting that the latter is provided.

LeFunk! will work with you to ensure they fit in to, rather than dictate, the flow of your event. Set lengths can be adjusted to fit in with auctions, 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! they won't just turn up on the night and play - they'll work with you before hand to help realise your plans.
