This quartet are all about the funk as the title describes. Headed up by Mike Hoddinott, all four players are musicians in demand on the Bristol scene playing with bands such as The Duval Project, Lewis Creaven, Scissor Sisters and Super Furry animals to name a few. Between them they have featured at many prominent jazz venues and festivals and have held a 13 year residency at the acclaimed Bristol Jazz venue The Old Duke under the name Code Red (pretty much the same band except Richie Blake has since joined). This is funky jazz at its best. Perfect for that 6pm festival slot where you might want a chilled out jazz vibe or where you might need to get people up and dancing without compromising on quality.

Funk! A band that delivers a great variety of music that both your brain and booty will love. Relatively new to the Bristol music scene Whailtale is made up of 9 of some of Bristol’s most sort after musicians and are quickly getting a name for themselves as a seriously tight outfit, getting everyone bouncing to their heavy funk grooves!
The perfect dance party and festival band.
