Funk It Up are a premier 5-piece function band, guaranteed to bring energy, style, and top-tier musicianship to your event. Fronted by a powerhouse female vocalist, this dynamic group is made up of seasoned professionals with extensive live performance and recording experience. With a setlist spanning rock, pop, Motown, soul, disco and funk, they deliver an electrifying show that will have everyone on their feet!
Every member of this West-Midlands based band is a highly trained musician, having worked alongside the likes of Mutya Buena (Sugababes), Nate Watts (Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Pointer Sisters), Julie Atherton (West End - Sister Act, Avenue Q, Mamma Mia!, Fame), Coree Richards (Damage), Junior Giscombe, and John Galea (Thea Garrett). As a band, they’ve also been resident performers on P&O Ferries and DFDS Seaways.
This versatile lineup offers a range of options to suit your event. Their standard 5-piece features stunning female vocals, guitar, keys, bass, and drums, and you can enhance the show with additional sax, trumpet, or male vocals for an even bigger sound.

They’ll also learn a first dance or special song request for you, and provide a playlist DJ service in between sets — with the option to upgrade to a manned DJ service if you want to make requests.

Live Band Review
Funk It Up - Quite simply, awesome. They played exactly what we asked for in the sets we asked them to play, Ruth the singer was awesome as were the group. They were all so polite and we had a good chat with George. In fact I am trying to engineer another event to have them round again!!!
