Jack Mac's Funk Pack

Jack Mac's Funk Pack is a funk, soul and jazz band led by saxophonist and vocalist Jack Mac, performing in the Copper Bar at Band on the Wall in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

Jack Mac's Funk Pack is led by saxophonist and vocalist Jack Mac, and its line-up is drawn from jazz, soul and funk musicians across Wales and the South West. The band takes its cues from New Orleans acts such as Galactic, Dumpstaphunk and Trombone Shorty, combining syncopated grooves and tight brass arrangements with heavy vocal harmonies.

The sound pairs a strong rhythm section with horn hooks, linking 1970s funk with the energy of modern street-brass culture. The group performs original funk compositions alongside reimagined classics. It has played Matt & Phreds in Manchester, Bristol's Jam Jar, Cardiff's Tramshed and St-Martin's-in-the-fields in London, and has been featured on the bills of the Brecon, Swansea and Brecon Jazz festivals. It has also supported Hot 8 Brass Band, The Headhunters and Too Many Zooz.

The night takes place in the Copper Bar, the concert and performance venue at Band on the Wall in Manchester's Northern Quarter.
