EK1

EK1 is a high-energy, six-piece soul-funk band based in East Kent, known for their full-bodied sound, professional musicianship, and dancefloor-filling live shows.

Formed in Thanet and Deal, EK1 has been a staple of the Kent music scene for years, performing at festivals, civic events, weddings, and pub gigs across the UK—and occasionally abroad. Their signature style blends classic soul and funk melodies with modern dance grooves, creating a sound that’s both nostalgic and irresistibly fresh.

Their professionalism and versatility have made them a first-choice act for everything from bandstand shows to black-tie galas. Whether they’re playing “Superstition” or “Never Too Much”, EK1 brings tight grooves, slick arrangements, and a party atmosphere wherever they go.
