Biography

The Funks are talented session players that came together in 2009 and have played all round the world.
The founder of The Funks is the 5"2 female soulful power house that is Jody.
The Funks were originally a family band with Jody's dad Andy on guitar and Jody's brother Lee on bass, Jody kept the band going after they retired.
Jody has performed in the most prestigious venues in the world. The London Palladium, Theatre Royal, Albert Hall and Her Majesty's Theatre. Jody was also a semi finalist on Britain's Got Talent in 2013 and has also performed in different bands abroad.
The newest m ... ember of the band is Liam! Liam and Jody have been friends for 16 years. Jody met Liam at a karaoke and Jody fell in love with his voice as soon as she heard him. Liam was once very shy and now he is booming with confidence. Before Liam joined The Funks he was and still is a Michael Buble Tribute. His smooth vocals bring something very special to The Funks and has an enormous vocal range. Jody and Liam sing so beautifully together with Soul, Passion and Power!
Antonello....Well where do I start! "The Italian Stallion" of The Ivories! He literally sets those keys on fire. You haven't seen anyone play the keys until you see Antonello! Antonello is the heart of The Funks as he brings something very special to all of us!

Mick: "The rocker with no hair" can also bring you soul! Mick's passion oozes through his playing! Mick is always happy to take a solo and always performs with a smile on his face! Rock was always Mick's background but when he found The Funks he found The Funk!
Chester: "Mr Smooth" is our laid back bass player. Chester feels the groove by relaxing in the back line as if he was on a beach! He does pop out to the front every now and then to show everyone that he is here. If your lucky he may slap that bass and get Funky!!
Colin lives for his drumming! He is funky and always happy! If he finds a mic he will do a bit of singing too!! Colin will bring Mildred (his kit) almost everywhere he goes! He keeps the rhythm going and going and going and going..........
That's The Funks!!!

The Fabulous Funky Funks - Function / Party Band - Woking, South East Event Location: The Park Plaza London Event Type: Corporate Event 15th October 2021

I hired the band for a private Corporate Function, they provided non-stop entertainment for our guests throughout, the performance was exactly as it "said on the tin", delightfully funky soul with wonderful covers with everything from Jamiroquai/ Average White Band style grooves to Aretha Franklin, with driving slap bass and spot-on drumming blending with sublime guitar and keyboard work. All this leaving the two singers the freedom to shine and conquer the tracks with great power, depth and prowess. An extremely professional band who I would certainly hire again.

The Fabulous Funky Funks - Cover Band - Woking, South East Event Location: Merstham Club Redhill Event Type: Club 9th July 2022

ust about the BEST evening ever. Merstham Village Club, Merstham on Saturday 9 July 2022 The Fabulous Funky Funks, had the dance floor full from the first note, and it stayed full all evening including several encores, the Funks entertained everyone with two hours and twenty minutes of first class vocals and exciting musicianship, not one negative comment from anyone, but many many words of praise for the band.

The Funks are superb, fantastic vocals and the band is so tight it squeaks. Well worth seeing.
