Dr Funk 🎸 Busking in Newquay

Multi-instrumentalist, live-looper, jazz funk bassist Dr Funk brings busking into the 2020s. He makes the four-string sing. He surfs. His dream is to own a 67 Mustang Fastback. He’s not actually a doctor.

🎥 Welcome to the official KZbin Channel of Dr Funk 🎵
Dr Funk lives to play the bass. That’s really all you need to know. Slapping, popping, strumming, riffing, he elevates the humble rhythm instrument to levels of melody and showmanship that are more commonly associated with the lead guitar. Inspired by legendary bassists - Marcus miller, Victor Wooten, Louis Johnson - Funk is the type of player who could jam on a groove for hours, building it up with his loop machine and keys. Fellow musicians stop and play with him. Crowds gather. Intrigued ears fished by Funk’s playing, pausing and taking time out to enjoy a stranger’s soundtrack.
It’s one of the most honest, unfiltered forms of performance you can imagine, and it’s one that the good doctor has known since he was 15. Since moving from Sunderland to Cornwall in search of surf, gigs and good times with his band of schoolmates - south west festival favourites The Big Sets - it’s the only job he’s ever had. Over the years he’s taken his unique style across Europe and, most recently, he’s taken his work across the world as one of the most popular viral street performers online.

Why is this man not a household name in the music world? Someone needs to discover this guy immediately. He obviously has the talent.

[@robertbarwick6197]

I agree totally👍

[@danjacobs4557]

On one hand it’s tragic that I will never come across your playing in a city scenario. On the other, it’s really fortunate because my plans that day would be shot and I’d be broke: I’d just empty my wallet, sit there, and listen until you got tired. Thanks for capturing these sessions!

[@user-ph2gq7oq3h]

The best day to start your day with Dr Funk is one that ends in a “y”!

Fabulous tribute to Miles. Some great memories from the great Stanley Clarke and Georges Duke's times came also to mind.

[@roryhines5679]

Have you seen Stanley Clark work a stand up bass? Not saying this guy is not good but he is not Stanley Clark or Victo Wouton. He is great but don't compare him to the likes of Stanley Clark. This guy plays a bit like Wouton but he doesn't have all of Woutons chops.
