Playing the freshest chart hits and greatest party anthems
The Love Junkies are one of the UK's premier function bands. Since 2000, they have cemented their reputation and established themselves as one of the hardest working party bands, specialising in weddings, corporate work and parties.
Sticking to classic tunes and pop anthems, the band plays a blend of pop, modern classics, disco, Motown and soul from the sixties to the present day, authentically replicating the hits the way they are meant to sound. Don’t just take our word, listen to the music and judge for yourself.
Lead by vocalists Rosie Mark & Eloise Smith, the band have proved their popularity by cutting out the gimmicks and getting back to basics, playing carefully selected classic songs with heart and soul to ensure the audience stays firmly routed to the dance floor.
Collectively, the members of The Love Junkies have worked with some of the worlds best selling artists including Joss Stone, Bill Rieflin (REM), Curtis Stigers, The Blockheads, Cleo Laine, Toyah, Roy Wood (Wizard), Chris Difford (Squeeze) and Seth Lakeman.

The band’s history...
The Love Junkies were formed in 2000 when singer and drummer team, Rox Clayton Scott and Marcus Bishop partnered up with Silent Prayers guitarist Dave Patrick and Speakeasy bass player, Nathan Dawe. Combined with a small brass section the band went on to play a number of successful function gigs. In 2001, the band landed a residency at Studio 41 in Canterbury.
At that time Chris Wong joined the band on guitar to fulfil the club gigs as a trio. As the function gigs came piling in, Dave joined up for the residency, Chris moved to Bass guitar and the established classic 4 piece line-up of the band was set. 2002 was the year it all took off. Since then the band have been playing constantly, with gigs more or less every weekend, moreso during the summer months.
The mission was always the strong and overwhelming desire to get out there and play good classic music, soulfully, authentically and without the theatricals (i.e. no makeup, wigs, hairy chests, medallions and bs).
