Hi Sam, We would just like to say the biggest thanks, the evening went so well, everyone was buzzing! What a night we all had on Saturday! The band made our night so special for us and Dale and the band made that possible. We knew you were fantastic but you on the night you lit up the sky and everyone thought the Band was amazing.

Please pass on our sincere thanks to Dale and all the band who are all so gifted / talented, and so much fun! They absolutely made our wedding day one night that we will never ever forget! The dance floor was never empty, Dee and Mel were incredible so much charisma and simply Amazing! Thanks for making it such a special night for us family and our friends – you blew us away ! We will absolutely be recommending you to anyone and everyone (!) and wouldn’t hesitate to sing your praises.

"Where to even start?! WOW! We're honestly all still buzzing! What a night we all had on Saturday! Honestly, it was so, so special for us and you guys were the biggest part of that. I knew you were going to be amazing but you were amazing AND THEN SOME! It's so lovely to hear that you were all loving life too - that means a lot! I just can't thank you enough personally for all of your help and advice in the lead up to the party - you've been so helpful, accommodating and reassuring the whole time and just been so nice to be in touch with! It's been such a pleasure! And again on the day you were a complete star and took so much work away from us as we literally didn't have to worry about you guys - you had it all in hand, even the clearing up - naughty! Haha! Please pass on our sincere thanks to Dale and the whole band who are all so super talented, and so super fun! They absolutely made our night! I had high expectations and they smashed them! I have to give a shout out to our singers (Dee and Mel was it?!), I mean how incredible were they?! So much charisma and sass- I think I'm actually obsessed with them haha! Not forgetting the Swing Singer and Quartet you also provided. Amazing! Thanks for making it such a special night for us and our guests - you knocked all of our socks off! We will absolutely be recommending you to anyone and everyone (!) and wouldn't hesitate to book you guys again for any future event that we're having. You should all be so proud of the overall package you provide as a band - it's unique and it's special. THANK YOU for everything. I'm so sad this is all over so let's just say, until the next time...! 😊 All the very best, xx

Having recently been involved in organising a big birthday one of our family members. I can wholeheartedly recommend Funk'N'Soul, Our party was a great success and a large part of that was down to the great music provided by the band and DJ service. This is a large band of very accomplished musicians with great arrangements and showmanship thank you Funk'N'Soul.

Hi Samantha & Funk'N'Soul, Thank you so much you were a pleasure to work with, we loved having you. We will certainly keep you in mind for anyone looking for the WOW factor

It was lovely to meet you all. The whole band were amazing, had such an amazing time. xx

Absolutely fabulous! Thank you xx

So much fun with these guys last night. The party was a blast, everyone was on the dance floor, the band are so entertaining. Thank you

Manager, Theatre Royal Windsor; George Michael tribute Band has to be one of the best acts and shows we have had in this theatre for a few years, so authentic and highly energetic with great vocals, backing vocalists and a great band, the audience was up dancing from the very first song right through till the end of the show, these guys will be back for sure.

Such an amazing band at our wedding in Portmeirion, our guests kept asking us how we found you and we told them my mother in law had seen you play at a wedding before. If you are thinking of booking Funk'N'Soul, do not hesitate as not only are they extremely talented but they made everyone's night because of how entertaining and friendly they were. Thanks again, Amena and Paul x

I saw the guys at a wedding on saturday..absolutely brilliant..kept the crowd going all night..very engaging...best live band i've ever seen..would definitely recommend..I hope i get to see u again!

A thanks from the weekend.. Just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you so much. You were absolutely amazing, you totally made the evening. So many guests came up to me and said how great the band were. Everyone had a blast. The music choices were so good, and the vibe of the band coming into the crowd and getting involved was fantastic. Cheers!

Dear Samantha and Dale, Thank you so much to you and Funk'N'Soul, for your fantastic set at our wedding. You really did make the party everyone was raving about you. And the dance floor was full all night! It was a wonderful day and we are so grateful that you were a part of it thanks again.

Thank you so much Funk'N'Soul' Function Band and Samantha Gibson. Please thank all the band and crew for us, we had an amazing day and the music was fantastic from start to finish. Thanks for all the photos and video too! x

Funk'N'Soul were absolutely amazing at our wedding last night. Not only are they super talented musicians but they also put on a fantastic show. The dance floor was packed all night. I would highly recommend for any occasion.

I will definitely recommend you lot. Fantastic stuff :)

You guys were great. You made the perfect end to a perfect day.

Love it !! Another awesome FunkNSoul gig 🎶💃🎤

Photographed this extremely talented, but ever so slightly, crazy bunch yesterday. 😂 If you are looking for a great live funk/soul band for your wedding or other function this lot are hard to beat. Very highly recommended. It was a pleasure. Hope to meet you and the amazing band very soon xx

Fabulous news on the award and so richly deserved. You all work so hard and give 6* entertainment.

They are the best. Well deserved award. Congratulations.

Amazing band..... Fully deserve the accolades.

Just had a fantastic night celebrating Fiona Gibson's sixtieth. We all thoroughly enjoyed Funk'N'Soul. Thank you to all. xx

"Well, Dale, and 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. " Natalie Howson Events Manager 3aaa County Cricket Ground Derbyshire,

We had the most amazing and magical day. It was overwhelming to be surrounded by people who we love and who had all gone to huge effort to celebrate with us especially so close to Christmas. You all made the day amazing! There are so many people to thank for all of their help on the lead up, on the day and afterwards. Thanks to Funk'N'Soul, for being a fabulous band and getting everyone dancing Xx

Thank you so much Funk'N'Soul, for performing at our wedding - we had such a great time dancing and so many of our guests commented on how incredible the band was. In fact, one couple I know have already been in touch with you about their wedding next year, and another I know are hoping to ask you to perform at another party too! The quality of the musicianship was absolutely fantastic and the guys were so great at getting everyone involved.

Guys you were amazing last night, a truly wonderful performance, great job, love it!!

Dale Gibson offered Funk’N’Soul, with the complete package for our wedding day. Paul (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 jazz trio who played for us in the afternoon were wonderful and played appropriate and tasteful music with little direction from us during our drinks and canape reception. Paul 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 appropriate and 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. Paul 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 Paul for future events!” Matthew and Alanna Lymn Rose

Thank you for a great night last night! Really enjoyed it!

"Another amazing wedding event last night with the fabulous Funk'N'Soul, Lee and Kate's first dance 'You Send Me' Gregory Porter. Performed for the first time by the band went down a treat to the surprised Bride. Guest trumpet player for the evening, the hugely talented, and very nice guy...... Bryan Corbett 🎺 Brand New Heavies.

Thank you!!! Was a brilliant day and Funk'N'Soul, were the icing on the cake! Thanks Lee.

Speechless, It was brilliant!

I Can't wait to see you guys play again at my friends wedding in august 2017 🎤🎷🎸💃

Said "Hear hear..." On our Facebook page using this quote by Musicians Unite. "Performing live will always be the benchmark to truly see the ability of Musicians or Band. You can't cut and paste or do 1000 takes. It is just you and the audience. You are either good or not good. No matter how great your recordings are if you can't pull your music off live it really doesn't matter then.

Best wedding ever.....although I'm slightly biased. You guys were so awesome, people are STILL commenting about you!

Coming from an incredible musician.. "If You're looking for a Mega Function Band with the emphasis on FUNK! please check this band out!" Thanks, Matt Ratcliffe ❤🎶

Coming from a fantastic fellow musician. "Enjoyed many years on the road with Dale Gibson, as trumpet player with the Drifters, the legend that was Johnny Moore, always said that Dale, was one of the best players he ever worked with here or Stateside!

Just got back from Lee and Kate's wedding where you performed tonight. You were brilliant; absolutely fantastic singing, playing and entertaining. Thank you.

You were fab last night at Kate & Lee's wedding! Even my 8 year old daughter thought u were pretty cool! 😎

Amazing band I love to listen to them. I have heard them live. They are an amazing band. I could listen to them all day long.

Brilliant tunes last night at Kate & Lee's wedding. Kept me dancing way beyond what my feet could endure. Not just a band but a whole entertainment package. You signed, sealed and delivered for sure.

Funk'N'Soul were brilliant!

Great band - great guitarist! :-) Geoff

Fabulous night and what a band. If you ever get the chance to book Funk’N’Soul’ function band, then do it. They are brilliant!

Well, what can I say but wow! Thank you for entertaining a full dance floor all night long. Big thanks Funk’N’Soul, you wowed everybody with the professional music, PA and lighting effects. So many texts and phone calls thanking us for a memorable night – fantastic, thank you thank you.

Superb event and superb band…quality musicians! Would definitely recommend you.

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.

Thank you for performing at Stanford Hall for our wedding. You definitely kept people going all night. A number of our guests have asked us for your details so you clearly impressed everyone! Thank you for also playing “Midnight Train To Georgia”. You made our celebration party very special indeed… thank you!

Absolutely recommend! I’ve heard the band for over four years and the wide genres covered, the music and tribute acts are so professional. The talented musicians deserve every penny and more. There’s nothing like a live band and these guys are Tip Top! I'm having them for my wedding Jan 2016.

I have been inundated with thanks for organising such a wonderful band for our party last Saturday night. Everyone had a thoroughly good evening and we were very impressed with you all. Can you please pass our thanks on to all your guys but the singer has had a special mention, he was fantastic! It was nice to finally meet you too. Thanks again until next year!
