Funk Soul Brother is one of the UK's best funk, soul and party bands. A line up of nine talented musicians recreate a funktastic mixture of classic and contemporary dance tunes to ensure a full dance floor at any event. Expect groovy tunes by James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Jamiroquai, Curtis Mayfield and many more.

Any Event, Any Size
Funk Soul Brother is the perfect band choice for any event including parties, weddings, corporate events, university balls and festivals. The band has experience of performing in front of large audiences of several 1000 people, as well as small intimate parties.

Real Funk Soul Brothers!
As the name suggests the Funk Soul Brother band is a tight knit unit of friends and professional musicians featuring brother and sister lead vocal team Adam & Anna Ross, as well as brothers David & Fraser Graham in the brass section.

They are dedicated to giving the best possible performance and keeping all the audience on the dance floor. Many of the band members have been friends for over 25 years and have worked together in a number of different groups and situations giving an unrivalled depth to the musical understanding within the band.

No Sheet Music!
There is nothing worse than watching a band of disconnected hired-in musicians who spend the whole gig staring into a music stand rather than performing, as is the case with far too many large function bands these days. This is absolutely NOT the case with Funk Soul Brother. All of the music is memorized by the band members, so that the band can PERFORM for you!

Professional Production
The band comes with a dedicated engineer and professional PA/Lighting system, to ensure the best production at all times. The system can be scaled up for larger events or outdoor concerts. The band carries full public liability insurance and all equipment is PAT tested. Copies available on request.

Central Location
Funk Soul Brother is based in Leicestershire and Rutland in the East Midlands and is therefore superbly located to perform at events all over the UK. The band also travels internationally provided that all associated costs are met.

Dear Dave, What a fantastic day! What a terrific evening!

Everybodywe've spoken to was completely in raptures about the band and what a brilliant end they made to a wonderful day. Even Sue's father (90 in December) took to the dancefloor for the first time in his life outside a ballroom.

We really appreciate your contribution, please yould you pass on our grateful thanks to all of the Brothers (and sister!). You were great!

With very best wishes,
