Groove Cartel are a 6 piece Funk band from Cambridgeshire, playing a mixture of original Funk and hand-picked gems from the oldskool archives. With a positive, danceable vibe throughout, their sets travel from laid back, groove-based riffs to frenetic rock-outs dripping with organ/guitar duelling and vocal-led crowd participation.
Groove Cartel are:
Martin : Vocals. A very experienced soul and funk vocalist, Martin performs with Zanzara and Soul Patrol as well as Groove Cartel.
Hugo : Hammond & Rhodes. Hugo was classically trained and got a Music degree, whereupon he discovered Soul and Funk, and with them the sublime, warm sounds of the Hammond Organ and Rhodes Piano. His sound is decidedly retro, with no synthesizers required or desired.
Marcus : Guitar. Founder member of the Cartel. Influenced by many modern guitarists, he is the flip-side to Hugo's retro sound. Marcus is currently working with Vanquish Guitars www.vanquishguitars.co.uk and is proud to endorse their hand made bespoke instruments.
Dave : Drums. Dave plays in several local bands and is also a drum tutor and owner of Taramik Drums in Peterborough.
Mark : Sax. Mark can also be found in the Mark Wilkinson Trio if Jazz is your bag, but here he keeps it strictly funky. Mark is also responsible for all GC's artwork and branding.
Shop : Bass. Guitar and bass tech to Incognito among others, Shop is now responsible for the low end duties in the Cartel... things are about to get low, real low!
Paul : Percussion. We will occasionally be joined by our friend and session percussionist Paul.
May The Funk Be With You.
