Sydney Funk Collective

Based in Sydney

About this act

Sydney Funk Collective are a function band with a simple approach: play the songs everyone actually wants to hear. Michael Buble through dinner, Michael Jackson once the plates are cleared. Weddings and corporate events are their bread and butter, and the set moves from sophisticated background music to the dance classics without a jarring gear change in between. Versatile, and hip enough that the younger half of the room stays interested.
