The UK's undisputed number one disco and dance entertainment act
Since 1997, Uncle Funk has combined a proven live set, a huge programmed light show, unforgettable costumes, and real crowd interaction to create something far bigger than a standard function band.
A high-energy celebration of disco's greatest artists, biggest hooks and boldest visuals. Big costumes, huge production, and wall-to-wall dancefloor classics.
A theatrical live journey through the evolution of dance music, from disco roots to modern floor-fillers. More concept, more story, more stage impact.
Uncle Funk has spent decades building a reputation for unforgettable performances, packed dancefloors and events that people remember long after the lights go down.

"www.soulconnexion.com have been playing Uncle Funk's live recording of Move On Up at the Big Caister Soul Weekenders. People have been going mental over it and had the dance floor melting, with hardcore soul fans demanding to know who is playing it and where they can buy it!!"
"We booked Uncle Funk's Disco Inferno for our Shakedown Winter Scooter Rally in Nov 2025. These guys are outstanding!!! the whole room was bouncing with their performance and our clients were raving about them. We will definitely be getting them back for a return. BOOK THESE GUYS YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!!!"
"Oh my god WHAT A WEEKEND! Even though I didn't get to say hi, I was actually stage side for a lot of your set, I can never resist a disco boogie with my FAVOURITE band! Honestly such a pleasure having you guys, you always give me the perk of energy I need!"
"You were one of the highlights of the weekend!"
"Thanks for playing at the festival again. I can safely say that you were the highlight of the day and everyone's favourite! Hope to see you again next year!"

"Our Thursday night opening parties wouldn't be the same without you!"
"As the CEO owner of Summer Soul Vibes Festival in Suffolk, it has always been our aim to bring our festival goers the BEST bands and entertainment from across the country and internationally. This involves travelling many hundreds of miles to visit other festivals and scout shows, looking for a little magic to add to our lineup. The moment we saw Uncle Funk's Disco Inferno, we knew we had to book them. The raw talent, the crowd interaction, the visual effect of the show - they're exactly what a festival needs and they keep the crowd in the palm of their hand the entire set! They've played Summer Soul Vibes Festival twice now, and our customers have twice said they were the best band of the weekend! On top of that, they're down to earth, easy to work with, brilliantly efficient, and there's no ego to it either. They're just utterly phenomenal and we can't recommend them enough!"
"We wanted to say the biggest thank you for your performance at our wedding! It's safe to say we absolutely loved it and our guests have been raving about you ever since! We've had a few "best wedding band ever" comments and we honestly couldn't agree more. You made the day incredibly special for us. We couldn't be happier you were able to play at our wedding."
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you, the band were amazing!!! You definitely made the party, everyone is still talking about you 😄. Thank you again for everything."
"We just want to say a HUGE thank you for making our wedding so unbelievably amazing and fun!! We were honestly blown away by how fantastic yourself and the band were and cannot thank you enough. We have been inundated with messages from family and friends saying it's the best wedding they have ever been to, mainly down to the band! The set up looked so professional and you all sounded brilliant. You had everyone aged from 5 months to 86 years old on the dance floor and we didn't stop partying all night!"
"I cannot thank you all enough for performing at our wedding on Saturday. It was the absolute highlight of what had already been a perfect day. Don't think I've ever had so much fun. Thank you for being so patient with the kids too, they had a blast and are now officially huge fans of the band!"
"After the first few chords the floor was alive with 70's retro cladded party goers. The songs were fantastic, the band musicians excellent! The band appeared to be having as good time as the party goers! Everyone has been talking about how great the party was for weeks, and in particular Uncle Funk's Disco Inferno. Even the gig-die hards said "what an amazing band". If you want a special night call on Uncle Funk, they are worth every penny!"
"A huge thank you to you and your band for a fantastic gig last night. I knew you were good but you absolutely blew us all away. Everyone is still talking about you all and how brilliant you were. I shall 100% book you again for my next party whenever that shall be. Once again, a massive thanks"
"Zoe and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the band for your amazing performance at our wedding. It really was the perfect day and you guys were as great as ever. Our friends and family that haven't seen you before were blown away and are definitely now part of your fan club!!"
"Thank you again for a fantastic show. We loved it and we're sure all our guests did too, lots of them have raved about the performance."
"We've been huge fans of Uncle Funk for years, they've always been one of our absolute highlights at Standon Calling (even the year Nile Rodgers played!). So when it came to planning our wedding festival, we knew they were the band we wanted. From the moment they arrived, they were totally professional, relaxed, friendly, and just brilliant to work with. They set up in our tipi stage with the most amazing sound and lighting systems, and as soon as they started playing, the dance floor filled and didn't empty all night. The energy, the outfits, the setlist... everything was spot on. Honestly, they were even better than we remembered from all those festival sets. They were the perfect finale to a day full of love and festival fun and right at the end of the night, I had an insane moment of realisation with Uncle Funk himself! Thank you, for making our wedding festival unforgettable. We're looking forward to seeing you all perform again soon!"
"This band is simply the best. They were super helpful to ensure the day was just perfect (and we had a few special requests). If you want to guarantee to fill the dance floor then please do not look any further. Wish we could do it all over again and again and again! Thank you Uncle Funk's Disco Inferno! Can't wait to watch you guys soon as groupies 😀"
"You were - genuinely - the best "wedding" band I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Couldn't be more chuffed. You blew everything else I've ever seen out the water and then some! I seem to remember the first 15 minutes of the set went off without a pause, as you segued from one song into the next and into the next. Phenomenal, brilliant, impressive. Thank you!"
"Just a short note to thank you and the rest of your band & crew for a fantastic evening on Saturday. You were fabulous. Kerry and I have had so many people tell us how amazing they thought you were. Your staging / lighting set up on stage complimented the performance brilliantly and made for a bit of a nightclub feel which really helped to get the crowd going. We all had a very good time indeed! Good luck for the rest of your busy summer, and I think at some future point we would like to have you back!"
"Just saw your show at Liz and Keith's wedding - you were absolutely incredible! We loved you!"
"I wanted our dream day to be perfect - Uncle Funk's Disco Inferno were the perfect choice. You were the maddest, most entertaining band I have ever seen! Thank you thank you thank you!!!"
"Thank you so much for an absolutely awesome performance at our wedding, we all loved it and our guests agree you were the best band they had seen at a wedding by a long way!"
"We cannot recommend Uncle Funk highly enough. If you want your party to be a complete blast and to bask in compliments from your guests for months afterwards, book Uncle Funk now. Don't just take our word from it, here's some comments from our friends' thank you letters:- "The band was sensational! What a scream and now I want a party so that I can have them to make me smile from ear to ear!" Bim, Herts "Then there was the band... we haven't danced so much in years!" Guy and Alice, Cambs "As for the band... what can I say? They were amazing and, having thought that I might run out of stamina, they had us all there at 2am still rocking..." Barry and Sarah, Beds "The band was, as Francois (who is not liberal with compliments) said, the best that he has EVER heard/seen. I thought they were totally phenomenal. I think it is the only party I have been to where the dance floor cleared when the band had a rest and not the other way around!""
"Dear Simon and the entire Uncle Funk band/techys/team. Just had to write to say a huge thank you for MAKING my birthday! Turning 40 hasn't been at all painful! In case you didn't notice, the entire "do" was built around you and what you do - I wasn't allowed to be involved in the arrangements but I told them it absolutely had to involve Uncle Funk or I wasn't coming! Haha! Once again, THANK YOU!"
"Just wanted to thank you for putting on such a good show! Everyone has been asking me about you guys since and saying how brilliant you were! I loved the little personal touches you put in and I was really pleased with how you guys set up with such little fuss and how flexible and accommodating you were throughout the evening! So again thank you very much!"
"Thank you once again for performing at the wedding, our guests are still talking about how fabulous you all were. You guys really made the whole wedding for us. We had the best time and can't wait to see you again soon."
"I still cant get over how amazing you guys were and EVERYONE who has spoken about the wedding starts with 'OMG your band!!'"
"What can I say, Uncle Funk and his amazing band played yesterday at my Wedding at The Old Mill in Aldermaston. They were professional, entertaining and our guests danced their socks off! We have some great memories and even better video clips to remind us of how brilliant they all were. So sorry you had to miss Glastonbury, but I am so glad you did and you chose to come to us. You made our day! Love to you all!!"
"Oh my god and oh what a night!!! Absolutely THE BEST PARTY EVER!!! I and all my guests had a fabulous time! Thank you for making it personal for my 60th. Everyone loves you guys!

"Thank you so much for the entertainment on Saturday night - there have been rave reports and comments about your band, as always."
"Hello guys, Thank you, thank you, thank you for such an amazing evening! Everyone had such a great night and we have received lots of comments already such as "the band were inspirational" and "what an amazing band, we had a great night". The party was a great success and Uncle Funk played a huge part in ensuring that happened - thank you!"
"With heavyweight headliner Diana Ross on the billing, the other standout on stage for us was Corinne Bailey Rae. Moreover, she just captured that easy Sunday feeling with her quietly confident, easygoing vibe. Also, lyrical and breezy, light as air, her catalogue just flowed. But, mention has to be made to Uncle Funk on the Discovery Den Stage. For value, he and his band were giving maximum effort with the crowd dancing to every single one of the 70s hits they were covering, song after song. Also, their performance was a little bit of festival fairy dust sprinkled and ultimately heaped all over their set."

Weddings
Your night, your soundtrack. We read the room, mix the classics your guests already love with the floor-fillers, and keep the dancefloor packed from the first dance to the very last song.
