Funk tonite started out in 1997 as "afrodizzyak
(soul and funk to turn you on)", before replacing one bad pun
with another in 2000.
They are a London-based group of professional and semi-professional
musicians who have played across the UK and continental Europe.
The band are all in their twenties and hold an infectious love for
the music they play. Funk tonite have shared a stage with the likes

"A belated note (we have just returned from our honeymoon)
to say a big a THANK YOU to yourself and Funk tonite for providing
the music on our wedding day at Rushton Hall. We were so impressed
with the trio and the band and the quality of the music all day
and it seems that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves on the
dance floor later on! You were all very professional and we are
really pleased we choose you for our wedding music. Your version
of 'Let there be love' for our first dance was marvellous too -
thanks so much.”
