Testimonials

"James and I would love to thank Funk Soul Family and Plain Folk for helping us to celebrate our amazing wedding. We had such a blast and enjoyed every moment. From start to finish, Plain Folk and Funk Soul Family were brilliant, helping us to make the day really special as well as tackling Blues Brothers as a first dance and putting up with our debatable dance moves! Pete was so friendly and approachable, making sure we had everything we wanted.

On the day of course, both were STUNNING! Even now, friends and family are commenting on how awesome the music was and how it really made the day. Both come highly recommended from us and we can't wait to join you at one of your gigs in Manchester this year and relive our day. Thank you for all your help and music" ​

Strings Attached were the perfect addition to our wedding and we couldn't have imagine them not being part of one of our most amazing days! The band learnt a song for our first dance which was totally amazing! And the kids enjoyed the way they kept switching up the playlist haha! The band were professional, personable and played perfectly. We can't thank you enough! ​

“We got married at Deer Park Hall in September and apart from marrying my wife, the thing I was most looking forward too was seeing Funk Soul Family perform! I had seen their promotional material online and was very impressed in what I saw. Pete was very reliable and was quick to respond with any queries we had and reassured me on performing our first dance from which they did a fantastic job. The music was brilliant throughout the night and we've had so much positive feedback 
from friends and family since the big day. Also a friend of ours who attended the wedding has booked them for his next year! So glad I booked them for the wedding and wouldn't hesitate to book them again for another special occasion.

“Just a quick message to say thank you to all of Strings Attached. We were absolutely delighted by how you played, at the ceremony, after - and we loved the evening music too. 
We were so pleased with the first dance Coldplay’s Up and Up.  Many people have said how good you were and how much they enjoyed it. 
It was a pleasure to have you there, thank you so much again for making it such a special day for us, 

​Gary and Louise! Xxxx”

‘Basically…THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME and you must have them play at your wedding. They are not only amazing musicians but also wonderful and helpful people and they were so  focussed on making sure that we enjoyed our evening celebrations. The dance floor was packed all night and all our guests had such fun from the youngest to the oldest. Funk Soul Family love what they do and are infectious in their desire to get you dancing and enjoy their tunes. So many of our guests commented on how great they were and a couple have asked for their details for their own future weddings. Thank you so much guys.’

“Dear Funk Soul Family, Lauren and I would like to thank you so much for your amazing performance during our wedding. We received so many compliments off all our guests about the great selection of music you played and how well it was performed. You created an atmosphere which was astounding and got everyone up and dancing. We would also like to say how incredible you made our first dance, it sounded wonderful and we couldn’t of asked for a better band to perform at our wedding. Thank you so much for making our day such a special one.  Yours Sincerely Lauren and Sean”

Testimonial

"Kat and I are just back from a short honeymoon and we wanted to get in touch to let you know how amazing we thought Funk Soul Family were. Thanks for learning our songs for the big day. Tolu even delivered Be My Forever better than Christina Perri and Ed Sheeran! Then the party really started with the second song - Shut up and Dance with me!! You guys kept the dance floor packed all night and all of our guests have been raving about you ever since. We will be along to Hogan’s of Hale along with some of our wedding guests in the near future. Thanks for making our wedding that extra bit special"

"A BIG THANK YOU  from Louise and me for your wonderful performance at our Garden Party.  Strings Attached were the perfect band for a perfect day.

The music you played was fantastic - everyone loved it and we had so many good comments from our guests.  You were all great fun and entered into the spirit brilliantly.  Ellie was always laughing.  Ben always smiling.  Tolu was a superb compere for the Battle of the Theme Tunes game.  And thanks most of all to you, Peter, for your organisational as well as musical skills – and for roping in Andy as your roadie and chief photographer!  Obviously, you all went above and beyond the call of duty, joining in with my songs – but I think you guys really added to my ‘entertainment’, which seemed to go down surprisingly well.

We went to see Coldplay at the Ethiad on Saturday – they were excellent.  But I still think your version of Viva La Vida takes some beating.  And your Bittersweet Symphony was as good, if not better, than the original as well. Hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did.  To be fair, you all looked pretty chilled having lunch outside in the sun! Scott and Louise xx"

​“Plain Folk were mesmerising to watch and understood exactly the kind of atmosphere we were trying to create. It’s generally pretty hard to create an atmosphere at a corporate awards event, but form the moment they began to play, we knew that the evening would be a success.

​We loved their 2 sets, the first being more background soft tunes, and the second more upbeat with both classic dance favourites and the latest tunes. Pete was always in touch on the lead up to the event and was a true pleasure to work with” 

​"Having attended the wedding of Chris and Karin in Manchester in September I simply knew I had to have Funk Soul Family play at my wedding too. I loved listening to the songs they played and for someone who hates dancing; it was a surprise to me that I couldn’t sit down all evening!"

"Even though the band members live in Manchester they were incredible enough to travel three and half hours to Hampshire to perform at our wedding and certainly didn’t disappoint, so again I was dancing all night. Pete organised everything perfectly and was very friendly – he even organised to learn my husband and I’s first dance song which was brilliant.

All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I can’t promote Funk Soul Family enough! Thank you all so so much for an unforgettable evening reception!"
