Dave BDrums
We invited Dave to join the band in 2017 after he'd deputised brilliantly for us on several high profile gigs in 2016.
Dave started playing drums aged 13, inspired by Roger Taylor and Queen performing on TV. After his first professional performance aged just 15 he fell in love with playing live music and decided to make it his career.
He spent his formative years doing a lot of Rock ‘n’ Roll and Blues session work and has since then studied many different styles. With his own style that very few drummers can match, he has trained and performed with top session musicians on the circuit at all the top venues in his native Manchester and across the North West
LauraVocals
Laura joined the band as lead singer in 2011 and was the face of LeFunk! for its first two years. She has a powerful singing voice with a great range without which the band would not be able to perform the varied repertoire we offer.
Laura left the band in 2014 due to family commitments, but she still takes a lead singer role with us from time to time for guest spots or as a deputy.
Dean Bass, Vocals
Now the band's deputy bassist, Dean was co-founder of LeFunk! along with Dave C in 2010.

Jade took over as lead singer in late 2013 bringing a wealth of experience and versatility to the band. With the arrival of her third child in 2016 and Laura-Jayne Hunter's introduction, Jade is now a superb deputy vocalist for the band and still makes regular appearances.
