Private events
Groovy Funky Things is the perfect band to get your wedding, function, or party guests dancing. Our private shows feature classic funk, soul, and disco hits, along with more up-to-date club floor fillers. See our songs page to get a feel for our shows.
A self-sufficient groove machine for your function.
Groovy Funky Things will happily perform for your wedding, birthday celebration, corporate function, presentation, or fundraiser. We carry a PA system and lighting, suitable for indoor events with up to around 200 guests, or rooms 300 square metres/3200 square feet in size. This means we are self-sufficient in most hotel/conference venues. However, if needed, equipment suitable for larger venues can easily be arranged via third-party hire.
Keep your party, wedding, or function grooving, even when the band takes a break
In addition to our performance, we are happy to provide recorded music before and after our show, and also between sets. This ensures that your function continues to groove, even when the band isn’t playing. If you want to have input into this, just email us a list of your favourite numbers before your event.
Weddings
As a wedding band, we realise that your special day is more than just a party. So, we’ll do everything we can to make the final stage of your celebration everything you hoped for. Groovy Funky Things’ repertoire includes songs suitable for a happy couple’s first dance. However, it might also be possible to create a custom arrangement of a song that’s special to you. Just ask at the time of booking and if we can help, we will!
Corporate events, presentation ceremonies, fundraisers, and gala dinners
Groovy Funky Things is the perfect function band for any event that ends with a chance for guests to let their hair down. Our repertoire of timeless dance floor anthems has universal appeal. Even those who prefer to sit it out at the back of the room will enjoy listening from their tables. We’re always happy to organise our performance around speeches, a vote of thanks, or presentations.
