The Intrepid Funksters
Act fee £500 to £795
Intrepid quintet (or quartet!) of jazz funksters who have been regulars on the vibrant Soho and Brixton jazz scenes since 2010. Expect anything from the classic 50s Blue Note sound to 70s space funk - spiced up with a dash of 90s acid jazz and Brazilian disco! The Funksters have the chameleon-like ability to tailor their sound to very different venues and audiences - they are equally at home in a classy restaurant, busy pub or crowded nightclub.
This quintet of highly experienced professional musicians provide top quality musicianship for jazz connoisseurs, mixed with exciting rhythms for those who just want to get their groove on. Guaranteed to lift any occasion!
