I can't help you with Funk but for summer parties in my garden I have several times employed She'Koyokh (See: http://www.shekoyokh.co.uk/) who are a very talented multi-ethnic band based in London.  I have also employed  Kourelou (See: www.kourelou.co.uk) who are a Greek band led by Pavlos Melas who lives right here in the ladder.

Otherwise ask in Penguin Music on Green Lanes, Jam in a Jar, or Music & Beans...

I've seen Bikinibeach live and they are indeed excellent. Nothing better if you want to give your wedding a genuine Waikiki surf feel. And who doesn't?

I could resurrect my classic soul band but the organiser would have to fly up the rhythm section from Italy (my little avatar pic is me with Booker T Jones). Plus all my PA gear is still in Italy and that is too much to be flown up. Heck we know all that surf music that Bikini Beach plays as well. I was at Dick Dale's house before Pulp Fiction when there used to be about 20 people at the concerts! Normally don't do weddings though, but I am interested to get a band up and running up here as I have found a great female classic soul singer so more open than usual to type of gig.

Hi. I am in a fab party/wedding/function band called he Jazz Cigarettes. We aren't a funk as such, but we have many 'funky' tunes! We do our own arrangements and act as a karaoke backing band for Poole to come up and sing. Let me know if you'd like to hear more about us and some testimonials. All the best, Calina
