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 of Fun Lovin' Criminals, Courtney Pine, Finlay Quaye and the Commitments, yet are equally at home playing at weddings and private functions and have a versatile repertoire which can be tailored to suit any occasion.

Recent clients & venues include:
Arsenal FC, McKinsey & Co., Conran restaurants, River Island, the John Lewis Partnership, the National Sales Awards, Rough Guides and Penguin Books, at a range of venues including London's Science Museum, Oxo Tower, Natural History Museum, and Hayward Gallery.

"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.”
Lisa & Ian Edwards
