Groove Monkeys

Act fee £1000 - £1395

The Groove Monkeys are a 4 piece band from the Midlands who formed in 2004 and have played all around the country at corporate functions, Celebrity weddings, Military Balls and even supporting Belinda Carlisle on her recent UK tour!

Charismatic front man Dominic has a stage presence and voice that is truly unique and loves to entertain. Warren on guitar and Steve on bass have played in bands together since their schooldays and have a unique understanding and tightness that is reflected in the way they cover the songs that they do and drummer Will is one of the hottest young talents around who is in demand with several big name artistes when time permits! The 4 members gel together in such a way that you feel you are genuinely getting a 'proper' band play for you. This is as close as it gets to having the Chili Peppers or the Killers play at your event.

The Groove Monkeys try and play something for everyone. Comprising a strong Indie bass they play classics from the Beatles to the Temptations and Van Morrison in their own way and with great passion.

The Groove Monkeys number one mission is to ensure that the Customer is completely satisfied in every way with the service they receive and the quality of the performance.

The musicians in The Groove Monkeys are highly talented and motivated. From touring the USA with signed artistes to record deals with EMI and Polydor they have been constantly busy all of their musical lives. Members of the band have worked with Dexy�s Midnight Runners, The Beat, Toploader, Liberty X, Sugababes, Let Loose, Diesel, Ruby Turner and many more. Members of the band have performed at the Radio 1 Party In The Park, The Manchester MEN arena and GMEX arena to crowds of 25,000.

We booked these guys for our Wedding Reception near Milton Keynes. They were super professional at every stage and dealt with any questions we had clearly! Every single guest at our reception raved about their performance and they really brought life to the party after dinner. We just want to say, thank you so much! We definitely won't be forgetting you guys!

I think this group is fantastic - I have heard them a number of times as my sister is a groopie if theirs! The group are able to adapt their set to suit the genre they are playing for - excellent vocals and well worth booking.
