About

What The Funk began in the summer of 2010 and is the brainchild of guitarist Rich Hughes, bassist Richard Glover and drummer Ben Thomas. The 3 funksters then stumbled upon the very talented keyboardist Charlie Swift and the incredible voice of Auriol Proudfoot to front the band.

The band now consists of 7 musicians with the equally talented and amazing Toby Orsen on Trumpet and Chris Rand on Sax. This band will deliver the best Soul, Motown and Funk classics of old and new and you'll want to dance the night away with this pack of fun loving cats!

Where are they based?

The band are based in London and frequently play in the City and the South East
