Wedding at Loseley Park, Guildford
on 19th June 2009 (Review by email 20th July 2009)

Hi Amy!

How are you? I wanted to thank you for your band's performance at our wedding last month. Sorry for the delay - we have only just got back from honeymoon. The band was absolutely fantastic and so many of our guests commented on how great they were! We will certainly pass their name on to all our friends.

The music that they played, both in the gardens and the barn, was perfect and the Hava Nagila was a great success too! They far exceeded our expectations so thank you very much again indeed.

Best wishes,

Retirement / Leaving Party, Buntingford
on 8th March 2008 (Review by letter 10th March 2008)

Dear Amy

I just had to drop you a quick line after Andy and Anne's "retirement / leaving" party to thank you and the band SO much for Saturday night. I have (seriously) never heard so many people talking about how good the band were, and coming up to me and asking me who you were, where you came from, how I found you, how they could contact you for other gigs and how much you cost !

Whilst the room was small, you adapted the act perfectly to it. I will be recommending you to many people, and hopefully finding a lot more work for you myself from a professional viewpoint.

Thanks again - Andy's parting comment to me was "the band were perfect.... brilliant".

Regards,

Richard Millward

Dear Amy,

We are writing to thank you and the rest of the band for the amazing music you provided at our wedding reception at Loseley Park on 18th August 2007.

Funkify were absolutely fantastic and really got the party going (and going and going!). We have had nonstop comments from our guests about what a great band we had and I know a few people who have recommended you to a friend or for the works do!

Thank you also for learning “The Way You Look Tonight” for our first dance, you played it absolutely beautifully. If you ever happen to play the song again and get the chance to record it, we would love to have a copy of it.

Once again, many thanks for the fantaxtic music and for giving us a wedding reception to remember forever!

Kind regards & best wishes,

Just a quick email to say a huge thank you for Friday night, Funkify were amazing. I have had countless amounts of praise about you guys. We managed to raise over £8000 on the evening, which is what we needed to purchase the wheelchair for Danny, and this exceeded our expectations. It was great to see everyone on the dance floor so quickly, which is a huge compliment to you guys.

Dear All,

Thanks for a fantastic evening at Felicity and Phil’s wedding last Saturday. It was brilliant! I took a card and passed it onto the Headmaster’s wife who organises our school ball. It’s always well attended and the parents would love the music and interaction you do.

on 13th February 2007 (Review by email 1st March 2007)

Just to let you know, we got back from our honeymoon on Sunday and had a wonderful time. Our Wedding was amazing, but most of all i wanted to let you know how GREAT the band were! They were just awesome, even better than we could have hoped. Everyone loved them, so many positive words towards them and it really made our evening. Please could you thank each and every one of them.

Any way, just to say thank you for sorting out the arrangements for the band and being so helpful and accommodating towards us and please thank the band, as I know they felt it was one of their better performances too, and everyone loved them.

on 10th February 2007 (Review by email 13th February 2007)

Hello Amy,

Thank you so much for the fantastic music you played on Saturday at Peter’s 50th Birthday Party. It really helped to make the evening extra special, after Gemma’s [Gemma Turner] beautiful singing. Please thank your ‘sound lady’ for helping Gemma with the sound whilst she was performing.

You were a great hit with the guests, everyone has been asking me where I found such a great band. You are all a very talented group of singers and musicians, and I am so pleased that I was recommended to you by Susan. A lot of your cards were taken on the night, and I am sure you will get some more bookings from this evening.

Very best wishes to you all.

The Horns, Watford

I recommend anyone who hasn't seen these girls & guys to do so. I expected The Horns to be fairly quiet on a cold and damp Sunday afternoon, but the place was packed and rockin! The whole band played with complete professionalism, the drummer did some great chops in "Pick up the Pieces" - highly recommended.

It is time to get Funkified!!
The White Hart Tap, St Albans

It was definitely a night to groove on down in the White Hart Tap, St Albans. Funkify played a great range of soul, R&B and funk to really get the place rocking! A lively atmosphere in the pub was created by audience participation from the lead singer as well as some very strong solos from other members of the band - including a Stevie Wonder Super and a fab harmonica slot. These guys know how to have fun and made sure the whole audience did too! Fantastic!
