If you like soul from legends like Stevie Wonder, disco from 70s stars Chic and Carwash, dance tracks from DJ producer Mark Ronson and a smattering of serious funk from Tower of Power then this is the band for you. From the soul classics of yesteryear to the modern dance hits of today, The Funk Cadets will get all ages movin’ and groovin’ on the dance floor.
Fronted by fabulous female lead vocalist Rachael and backed by an excellent six-piece band consisting of bass, guitar, keyboards/vocals, drums/vocals and a razor sharp brass section of sax and trumpet/vocals, this band will impress even the most discerning of music critics. For larger audiences the band can expand to an 11-piece by doubling the horns and adding extra backing vocalists/dancers.
Between them members of the band have appeared on Channel 4, ITV, BBC TV, Sky, Five, Radio 1 and performed in Dubai, USA, France, Belgium, Italy, the Caribbean, Japan, Alaska, Hong Kong and throughout the UK. High profile venues members have played at include: Claridges, The Grosvenor House Hotel, Brighton’s Grand Hotel, The Dorchester, Aldwych Theatre, The Lyric, The National Theatre and even appearances on Broadway, New York. Lead vocalist Rachael has also appeared as a backing vocalist with Madonna on a TV special.
The band have their own PA system and lighting rig and normally play three 40-minute sets or two one-hour sets. Like nearly all our bands, The Funk Cadets provide pre-recorded music on CD during their breaks and after the performance at no extra charge, or alternatively for an additional fee they can supply a full DJ service.
