A lot of joy when things come together just right!☀️

At Funky Drummer we bring together live and club music with global inspiration 🌎 or a funky foundation. At our big events this comes into form with a show stopping headline band 🥁 and an arrangement of very carefully curated DJ acts 💿 in a crazy club night.

Funky Drummer Collective evolved in tandem - a DJ set with instrumental embellishment.

Last Saturday was first time we held down a whole night with a Funky Drummer Collective. 🪘🎹🎷💿

We hosted our friends, family and resident DJ’s alongside some of Sheffields most talented live musicians. The result was magical ☄️

Big ups to the crew for making this happen. The night was a very special occasion & we simply cannot wait to get everybody together again 💗

Funky Drummer & Friends is a FREE event 🚫 🎫

Factory Floor had ‘one of the biggest queues they’d ever seen’!! We are so grateful for YOUR support and also pleased that the venue respects our space to dance comfortably 💃🏽

Thank you all!

Next stop: 🌴 ☀️Global Party flavours, featuring Sam Redmore & The Tropical Soundclash. ☀️🌴
