About

Booyaka is a funky legend, a non-stop party, a musical mantra, a way of life. Retro yet forward looking, danceably funky but rockingly filthy dirty, Booyaka's individual groove has never been more vital. After more than a decade of gigging Booyaka remains Shropshire's premier funk band. A true inspiration for past and present generations of misspent youths, these funk-rock heroes have genuinely changed the musical landscape to create the funkiest county you've never heard of. Seriously, ask Max Rafferty of the Kooks. We taught him everything he knows. Almost.

After literally hundreds of gigs, a continental tour, support for the likes of Eat Static, Jah Wobble, Transglobal Underground and Ozric Tentacles, battle of the bands victories, headline festival slots, and one botched record deal, Booyaka have returned after a three year hiatus, and are still filling venues with their loyal and frankly demented fans. Check them out at a festival near you. Keen as mustard!
