“taking customer service to another level”

“Dale Gib­son offered Funk’N’­Soul, with the com­plete pack­age for our wed­ding day. The DJ help­ful­ly came and set up the stage and large kit the day before and arrived in plen­ty of time on the day to com­plete set­ting up which was a real com­fort for us with our wed­ding being at our own home grounds rather than at a venue. The band’s Jazz Trio option, who played for us in the after­noon were won­der­ful and played appro­pri­ate and taste­ful music with no direc­tion from us dur­ing our drinks and canape recep­tion. The DJ was on hand all day and was par­tic­u­lar­ly help­ful dur­ing our speech­es by test­ing and hand­ing out the micro­phones that he pro­vid­ed when required. He also helped one of our guests per­form an unplanned per­for­mance of ‘Don’t stop me now’ which was absolute­ly bril­liant. Funk’N’­Soul learnt and played ‘So Amaz­ing’ for the first time for our first dance and it real­ly was ‘So Amaz­ing’! They played two sets, which once again were amaz­ing and soo much fun with no direc­tion or prompt­ing from us, and kept the dance floor full and live­ly all night. The band were very accom­mo­dat­ing to our tim­ings slip­ping dur­ing the day result­ing in them start­ing their first set 2 hours lat­er than planned. The DJ and his assis­tant played until near­ly 4am, play­ing numer­ous song requests and accom­mo­dat­ing an unplanned karaoke ses­sion. The DJ also helped Alan­na lock up the mar­quee etc. once guests left at rough­ly 5am, cer­tain­ly tak­ing cus­tomer ser­vice to anoth­er lev­el. We will cer­tain­ly be book­ing Funk’N’­Soul and their lighting/sound and DJ ser­vice for future events!”
Matthew and Alan­na Lymn Rose (Exec­u­tive Man­ag­er) — Geldards.

“THE BAND’S ENERGY AND PROFESSIONALISM IS SECOND TO NONE”

“Well, Funk’N’Soul boys, what can I say except a MASSIVE thank you to you all for such a suc­cess­ful Christ­mas! That has to be the BEST enter­tain­ment that I have expe­ri­enced in 17 years of work­ing in the hos­pi­tal­i­ty indus­try. The band’s ener­gy and pro­fes­sion­al­ism is sec­ond to none and each indi­vid­ual mem­ber made the par­ty nights a com­plete suc­cess. Our feed­back is fan­tas­tic and you should be immense­ly proud of this.”

“IT WAS A PLEASURE BEING IN THE AUDIENCE”

“When Funk’N’Soul start­ed with “Pick Up the Pieces” my jaw dropped and I could­n’t find it for the remain­der of the per­for­mance! It’s great to see a band where the instru­ments are not in the way, instead they com­ple­ment the musi­cians. Vocal was out­stand­ing too… from Prince to Brown… and with such ener­gy. Phe­nom­e­nal! It was a plea­sure being in the audi­ence. Thank you.”
Marcin Gwozdz
