About The Groove Primitive

Covers dance band based in London. We provide live music for functions, events, clubs, festivals & etc....

Function band

London

Public liability insurance of £5 million

The Groove Primitive is a group of experienced musicians playing a well curated selection of Soul, Funk, Motown, and Pop/Jazzy tunes with the emphasis on danceability. If there is one thing that is important to us it is the joy of playing a great groove and seeing people get up and dance! We came together through our mutual love for 60s and 70s dance music and between us we have extensive touring, performing, and recording experience. Our core line-up is a 5 piece band comprising vocals, guitar, saxophone, bass, and drums, but we can engage additional members as required, subject to agreeing an additional fee. We can also provide live background music e.g. while guests arrive; again for an additional fee depending on the number of musicians and the required playing time.
