The Story Behind Uncle Funk

Learn more about Uncle Funk, the live party brand behind Disco Inferno and Decades of Dance. Established in 1997 and performing across the UK.

Built to Look as Big
as It Sounds

Uncle Funk started in 1997 with one clear idea: the show had to look as impressive as it sounded. From day one, it was never going to be just about playing songs well. It had to feel bigger, bolder and more unforgettable than anything else around it.

Since
1997
Why Uncle Funk Works

Not a tribute. Not a covers band.
Something stronger.

✦
Beyond One Lane

Most live acts sit in one lane. They are either tribute bands to one artist or general covers bands trying to please everyone.

✦
Genre-Led

Uncle Funk sits somewhere stronger. We are built around genres that people already know, love and respond to instantly.

✦
The Flexibility

Which gives us the flexibility to perform successfully at theatres, festivals, weddings, private parties and corporate events.

How the Brand Evolved

Over time, the brand evolved into two distinct live show formats. Together, they allow us to offer something broader, sharper and more adaptable than most bands in our space.

DISCOInferno

Disco Inferno became the explosive visual disco experience people know us for.
