Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

• Roaming instruments! We realise that our performance is all about YOUR special day, so we roam the dancefloor and ensure you and your guests are an integral part of the experience. • You choose ALL the songs, to ensure the sets are unique to your event only. • Fun yet attentive - We don't take ourselves too seriously, but take your event VERY seriously!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

• Venues: BFI IMAX, Cineworld Leicester Square, Chiltern Firehouse, The Hurlingham Club, Caledonian Club, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

• Film premieres: World premiere for The Hunger Games London premiere for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 • Brands: Disney, Marvel, Lionsgate, IKEA, KPMG, GESSI, TEZENIS, BOXPARK, WeWork, Lucozade, Silverstone, Bloomberg, BrewDog, Fritz Hansen • VIP's: Jamie Osborne, Elizabeth Saltzman, Charley Hull

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

Yes - Always. Based on your line-up we will suggest the best lead vocalist or you can request a specific vocalist you liked from the videos. You can also upscale with a rapper.

Do you have different line-up options?

• 5pc = 2 Vocals, sax, guitar, bass, drums • 6pc = 2 Vocals, sax, guitar, keys, bass, drums • 7pc = 2-3 Vocals, sax, trumpet, guitar, keys, bass, drums • 8pc = 3 Vocals, sax, trumpet, guitar, keys, bass, drums • 9pc = 3-4 Vocals, sax, trumpet, trombone, guitar, keys, bass, drums • 10pc = 4 Vocals, sax, trumpet, trombone, guitar, keys, bass, drums, percussion

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We understand that timings for any event can vary and always remain as flexible as possible within reason, both prior to and during the event. On the day of the event, a delay of more than 30mins in start time will be resolved by either: 1) shortening the performance 2) offering musicians an extra fee of £50/pp (providing that they are able to stay longer)

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes absolutely - We provide both Disco Playlists and Manned DJ options. Please refer to your cover letter for what's included in your and what options are available as an upscale.

How much time do you need to set up?

We offer flexible setup solutions for any event and ensure that this is done in agreement with the client, venue and event planner.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

You can select ALL your songs, and even some songs which aren’t on our list, to ensure that your show is fully-tailored and unique to your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Indeed. Remember, bands can only sound as good as the amplification they’re playing through. That's why we use PAT tested high-end amplification, as well as party, stage & mood lighting with a dedicated engineer, to ensure everything looks & sounds just right all throughout your event. * Make sure to ask your venue whether or not they use a noise limiter.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes. Learning new songs keeps us quick on our feet and keeps our repertoire fresh. This will normally be free of charge (within reason) * In case you have an exceptional request (i.e song arrangement for a large band or a large number of songs especially prepared) we may have to charge a bit extra.

WOW! We could not recommend Funk With Us highly enough. They played for our wedding (and Lilac did an acoustic set in the day). They were all absolutely INCREDIBLE. The dancefloor was full all night and we had endless comments about how amazing they were. Lilac was so helpful in the lead up to the wedding and on the day. Their set list and repertoire is sooo extensive - the hardest bit was narrowing it down to our favourites! Absolutely made the day and were worth every single penny! The 5* reviews speak for themselves! Thank you guys so much.

I love dancing badly to a good wedding band, and I was overjoyed that the band at my own wedding was easily the best wedding band I've ever experienced. Seamless transitions, flawless funky execution, huge vocals from Lilac, and her and the saxophonist joining us on the dance floor made for a truly memorable and superlatively fun experience for everyone. The floor was packed all night! Couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you so much Lilac and co!

Best band we could have asked for! They were so organised and thorough in the run-up to the wedding, making sure we were happy with the sets. The day it’s self was amazing and I could not recommend them highly enough! Everyone commented that they were the best band they had heard, the dancefloor was filled with every age group all night! Thank you again and we will be looking for any excuse to have you back!

A fantastic band! 5* & I would highly recommend Sound with Us! Lilac & the whole band were excellent musicians and so much fun to have playing at my birthday party. We wanted to have fun & dance the night away, and the band made the night just perfect! Plus being able to totally customise the song list is a game changer, I loved the flexibility. They were so easy to book & co-ordinate with ahead of the event, so it was a breeze on the night. I’ve seen Sound with Us at two difference events now (my party & a friend’s wedding), they’re in hot demand so do book them in plenty of time!
