Testimonials from 2015

"We had such a wonderful wedding day. The band were absolutely fantastic - very happy to play our first dance song for us, and then they really got the whole party going - the dance floor was absolutely packed. The lead singer was wonderful and had great banter with the crowd, which went down really well. The songs were great fun, and we have had so much good feedback since the event, with several people saying that Funk Conspiracy are the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. We would definitely recommend the band to everybody, and hope to see them playing again soon! We would definitely recommend the band to anyone. Please do pass on our enormous thanks to everyone who played on the evening, it was massively appreciated. Thanks again!"

Andrew and Lindsay Winnifrith regarding their Horton Grange wedding
August 2015.

“The incredible performance from Funk Conspiracy was a highlight of our fantastic wedding. From the opening chord until the final drum beat, they had nearly every single person up dancing. They mixed some modern grooves in with some classic tracks and some funkier ones with some rockier songs and they kept everyone moving and having fun. If you are booking a band for your wedding or event, don’t hesitate to book Funk Conspiracy…and if you do, treat yourself to the full band including trumpets and horns….they got everyone talking and it added to the party vibe”

Caroline and Mark Turnbull regarding their Vermont Hotel wedding
May 2015.

“Funk Conspiracy were professional and friendly from the moment I enquired about hiring them. Richard was particularly helpful with advice about timings and set up and I was really looking forward to them performing at our wedding. They arrived at the venue and set up promptly and kept the dancefloor filled all night with a mixture of soul classics and more modern hits- I kept wanting to get a drink but another great song would start so I had to keep dancing! The singer really engaged the audience and we have had so many compliments from guests about how good they were, wouldn't think twice about hiring them again, cannot recommend enough!”

Quite a few who live locally will certainly be going along to As You Like It next time the band plays there to hear some more. It made our night time event so special and we will never forget it.

They were not only all talented and well rehearsed musicians, but also very very good at getting the party going and keeping the mood upbeat. Zita’s banter was wonderful, and so was her singing! I have already recommended them to a friend who will be getting married soon, and will continue to recommend them. Everyone at the party (aged from 8 to 80) mentioned how fab the band were. Thank you very much!! Chris and I both think that the website doesn’t quite do the band justice – they are even better than that! Wish we had another party planned and we could get Funk Conspiracy back soon!! ”

Who would guess the Proclaimers I would walk a 500 miles would have to be performed twice due to demand?! I genuinely cannot thank you enough for the amazing evening you provided and would thoroughly recommend you as an outfit to anyone organising a dinner dance..and we were pleased we asked for the 7 piece..really made the night special! I'm going to pass on all the contacts to next year's committee and hopefully the class of 2013 can have as much fun as we did! Truly brilliant! ”

I was 25 weeks pregnant at my wedding (where Funk Conspiracy also played) and was exhausted by the night time so didn’t really get to enjoy the band as much as I would have liked. This time though, well what can I say I loved it and danced my socks off. Just want to say a huge thank you and look forward to seeing them again no doubt."

I already knew you were brilliant from hearing you many times before and it was great to hear so many people find out how great you are. It sounds like you'll be invited to play at many other friend's wedding in future! Thank you also for letting me play the one song with you guys. I have heard that a group of about 6 people who heard you that night were so inspired that they've now promptly formed their own band! Thanks again - Katie and I loved it, and look forward to hearing you again in future (if I'm allowed to play Sir Duke again or some other tune I won't turn it down!)"

We'd had such a great day and your music was the perfect end to it all. It was excellent value for money as well considering the quantity and quality of the musicians in the band. Please thank them all for us. I'll certainly recommend you guys to friends who are looking to book a band for their wedding."

"We want to say an enormous thank you to Funk Conspiracy for being the final piece to our amazing wedding day jigsaw! I personally spent a lot of time looking for a good live band - and I came across many not so good ones before I discovered Funk Conspiracy. Believe me, the time and effort was more than worth it! They were utterly fabulous; Zita was on fire and the band was as tight as could be. All of our guests commented on how fantastic the music was, and our dancefloor was packed all night. If you are considering a live band for your wedding or event, you will not find a better funk and soul crew than this one! Thanks again guys for helping to make our wedding so memorable. You made everyone's night."

"Both myself and other members of the Whitley Bay Round Table were absolutely delighted with the show you put on. We raised over £800 on the night for the charities and the feedback from many of the guests was that Funk Conspiracy were one of the best if not the best function bands they had seen at a dinner dance event, proved by how many people where up and dancing all the way through your set! From a personal point of view i'd like to thank you for such a professional service and the way in which your set and overall performance fitted in with the night perfectly, the songs were spot on for the theme of the night and i was thrilled that you even played over your original finish time and past 12 midnight. Could you please pass my rather belated thanks to all the members, we would love to have you play at one of our functions again and will be sure to get in touch with you sooner rather than later."

"We all had a fabulous night and without exception everyone commented on the quality of the music. I'm fairly sure from the first song to the last the dancefloor was well populated! Considering the wide age group everyone managed to get on their feet which is exactly what we were hoping for. Three or four of our guests who are in bands themselves were particularly keen to mention the quality of the band members and the repertoire. Best wishes, I wouldn't hesitate to book you again or indeed to recommend you to anyone. Feel free to pass on my details if someone would like a personal reccomendation."
