Players who have been polishing their instruments and rehearsing maniacally to deliver a dynamite funk medley extravaganza.

Repertoire has been hand-picked from the finest vintage selections and brought to the masses via live show bootlegs. Alphabet Street are honoured to follow the traditions of their funky forebears and bear the torch for the next generation of funksters. Available for gigs at the drop of hat from nightclubs, speakeasies, juke joints, weddings, functions and any classy mixology establishments that will showcase our talents.”
