"I would just like to express my appreciation for the exceptional performance The Funk Federation provided on Saturday (05/03/05) night at our owner’s ball. The band arrived in ample time and was sound checked and set up 40mins before the guests arrived. From beginning to end their sets were none stop party with the singer engaging with the audience and getting them involved in the singing. By the end of the first set almost all of the audience were up dancing. The feedback from the guests was fantastic. The bands approach to their work is very professional and they are a pleasure to work with. I would recommend this band to any potential client."

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at my wedding on 5th August. You were voted best ever wedding band by all my friends (and they've been to a lot of weddings). The day wouldn't have been the same without you playing. Best wishes for the future."

"What more can I say. The Funk Federation are brilliant. They made my party something really special. My family and friends will be talking about them for many years to come. I cannot recommend them enough. The dancing started with their first song and continued right through till their last. My only regret is not videoing the day so I could hear their music again and again. Thank you Funk Federation for a fabulous day and also making me the no.1 party organiser!!! And a special thanks from my 4 year old nephew Jack who is still telling people he sang with a real band!!!!"

"We absolutely loved what you did for us for our wedding night; you were also professional we couldn't believe our luck! We felt you made our evening. We have just finished watching a video that someone taped during the evening and everyone (including us) was having such a great time on the dance floor. Even the 'oldies' were catered for in your repertoire and were seen having a good ol' 'knees up'. So many of our guests said how great you all were and you all looked like you love what you do!"

"The Funk Federation….what a fantastic group A professional team from the outset – from preparation to final customer satisfaction. They kept a mixed audience of 1-70 year olds entertained over a four hour performance of wide ranging repertoire of top hits from the last 3 decades. The music programme was “tailored to our request and provided a perfect accompaniment to a 60th birthday celebration. The music gave great presence to the occasion and provided at different times, mood, sentiment, excitement and “pizz-az”! There was non-stop dancing and even a month after the event we are still receiving great comments about the band’s fantastic sound. Well done!"

"Hi Geoff, I just wanted to drop you a note to say how much we loved the band's performance at our wedding down in Bishopsbourne on 2nd August. The band was the icing on the cake for our perfect day - the energy it created on the packed dancefloor was phenomenal and we couldn't have hoped for more. Looking back on our big day the Funk Federation was a huge highlight for both of us and speaking to our guests afterwards, the overwhelming majority of compliments have been for the band and what an amazing performance you gave. We will definitely be recommending you to all of our friends who are seeking the recipe for a brilliant party."
