Working with some of the UK’s top function singers, we provide a range of male and female vocal options to complement our first-rate brass section. We can also offer smaller acoustic groups for drinks receptions and dinners, and are committed to tailoring our act to every individual clients’ needs. ​ Watch our videos, listen to our recordings and take a look at our set list. Don't hesitate to get in touch and book the band that will make your event one to remember. 🎉 PARTY BAND This is the ultimate party band to keep your guests glued to the dancefloor. The 9-piece band includes one singer, 4-piece brass section and rhythm section — upgrade to the 10-piece to add a second vocalist as well, for an even more spectacular performance. We typically play two one-hour sets, but we are happy to add more if you want your guests dancing into the night. Travel, PA, lighting and PLI (insurance) are included as standard in every quote. We use the latest and most reliable audiovisual equipment; just let us know the size of your venue and we will include suitable sound and lighting tech in our quote. If your event has a theme, we will be more than happy to accommodate it. We have played at everything from black-tie James Bond-themed galas to Roaring Twenties parties. Whatever the theme, we’ll match your vision in both look and sound. ​ Charlie and the Funk Factory have extensive experience performing at weddings, for corporate clients, and at a range of other events and parties. We will put on a show which will make your event unforgettable. 👰🤵 WEDDINGS We know that every wedding is different, so let's schedule a call and we will tailor the perfect package for you. Choose between the 9- or 10-piece party band, and then add any other music you'd like on your special day; for example, during your ceremony or drinks reception. We offer all kinds of small ensembles as optional extras: from jazz quartets to acoustic pop duos; from solo piano to Love Actually-style flash mobs. If you’d like another set from the full band, we can accommodate that too. Anything goes We'll learn your first dance for free, and can take any other song requests in advance; if there's a song which your wedding would not be complete without, let us know and we will arrange and perform it. We offer discounts for local performances in the West Midlands, but we are happy to travel all over the world — so if you are having a destination wedding, get in touch and we will put together a package just for you! SMALL ENSEMBLES Do you need music in addition to the main party band? We've got you covered! We can provide entertainment services for your entire event, from background jazz over dinner to solo piano during a ceremony. Tailor the ensemble to your needs: choose how many performers you would like, and what style of music would fit best. Typical options include our jazz quartet, our acoustic pop trio, or solo piano or guitar. As always, travel, PA, lighting and PLI (insurance) are included in every quote.
