Funk City band.
This fantastic band play everything from Prince to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air from The Beatles to James Brown and from Oasis to Otis Reading and they are the band to hire to get your Wedding or Xmas Party guests dancing the night away
EXCELLENT! Craig was so entertaining and was fabulous at pleasing the crowd with all the well known hits and anthems, the whole party was singing along. He also covered requests from the audience and in advance which was very entertaining. Thank you Pop Top and Craig for making my dad's 70th a really special night.
Absolutely fabulous from start to finish! Will hire again
Couldn’t recommend them more, Funk City Band were in touch as soon as I booked them for a 40th bday party and were incredibly accommodating and flexible, making sure they had all the details of the event. On the night they created a fantastic atmosphere and managed to engage the audience and get everyone dancing with the Jukebox Mash-up and their awesome music knowledge of what we’re some quite eclectic requests! Already trying g to think of an excuse for another event 😊
Just to thank you and your band members very much for playing at our wedding. YOU GUYS WERE TERRIFIC!! Everybody had lots of fun and complimented the quality of the live music. I understand that was your fifth night playing in a row. We would not have known, thanks for all the energy. Thanks again and rock on
‘These guys performed at a wedding I was shooting and WOW was the room rocking! It was impossible to take a photo where someone looked miserable! Absolutely brilliant band.
We were so impressed with you and had so many compliments afterwards on our choice of band. I was also pleased at your level of organisation – you were so professional from start to finish. You are the best band we have hired.
What an AMAZING band!!!! The dance floor was full from the minute you started playing right through to the end of our evening! What lovely guys, Craig helped organise everything with us beforehand in the weeks leading up to the wedding 🙂 And our first dance song was just perfect 🙂 We cannot thank you enough
You guys are sick! I LOVED it. We should have a jam…
Brilliant, fun and professional party band.
