City Funk Orchestra

The capital’s best and most popular funk/soul dance band plays to packed houses throughout London and the South. CFO now makes regular festival appearances and 2025 sees them appearing amongst the headliners at the Saturday Love festival in North London where they’ve been enlisted to play an additional set as ‘backing band’ for legendary New York Festival headliner - ”Mr Funkin’ For Jamaica” - Tom Browne. Previously CFO has appeared as a ‘specialist’ opening act for the likes of Average White Band and Kid Creole and the Coconuts.

The band’s sound centres around the soul and funk ‘golden age’ of the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, to which these top players have added the magic ingredient of genuine authenticity. Their own CFO penned material blends seamlessly amongst the big dance floor fillers the band have made their own. Featuring two of the best soul singers in the UK in regular female lead Imaani (longtime lead singer with internationally acclaimed UK jazz funk legends Incognito), and Mary Pearce (Culture Club, Roy Ayres, Primal Scream) - with a funky-as-it-gets rhythm section of Nial Tompkins-guitar, Carl Hudson-keys, Matt Pegg-bass, Geoff Dunn-drums.

True Funk!
