Testimonial (more testimonials at the bottom of this page)
"Hey Guys Blinder of a party on Saturday and D-Funk were not just good they were absolutely amazing the place went nuts for them and they really enjoyed themselves as well. D-Funk are young good looking dynamic and cool there were punctual for set up polite and well turned out, it was only when they started playing did we realize quite what an exceptional band we had got on our hands and what an incredible night was to come, theses guys are the SAS of Soul, the Ninjas of Night Boogie, they put the F into Funk and the P into Party, 120 delighted and costumed guests danced the night away to this incredible band, the musicianship was world class, book this band now, see them up close and feel the force, in a couple of years time they will be playing Wembley Stadium and you will have missed your chance... They were that good, amazing night..."

Comments: Thanks D Funk, my wife and I were blown away by your performance, we
couldn't have asked for more. We spent a long time listening to bands and
having made our decision we weren't disappointed. Lots of our guests
commented on how good you were and everyone seemed to enjoy the performance
which is exactly what we'd hoped for. Great interaction, great
presentation, great song choices... perfect! Thanks to Clare at Alive
Network too, hassle free choosing, booking and organising. We've already
recommended you both to our friends.
Thanks a million, Neil and Kris ;-)

Comments: D Funk were absolutely brilliant and I told them this over and over. Every single person at the party (about 80) mentioned how fantastic they were - not only my friends but my daughters friends too (22 and 25 year olds).
Not only were they extremely talented and looked good, they were lovely people too. During their break, I told them my daughters wanted to say a few words, and one of them sing, and they needed the microphone, they were happy to cut short their break so that could happen.
The weather was perfect and after arriving it became too hot inside so everyone went into the garden. The band positioned themselves so they could be seen from outside, and heard perfectly. I, however, danced all night.

Comments: We just wanted to say a BIG thank you for playing at our wedding and for such a brilliant night!
You are all so talented and it really made our reception just perfect. Thank you!!!!!
All of our guests were raving about how good you were and how we managed to find such a fantastic band in Peterborough (obviously I told them you were not local!). And I know people were a bit slow to get up on the dance floor but once they did, they loved it!
We can't thank you enough for such a perfect end to the day! We'll definitely be recommending you guys to anyone that will listen! Such a cool band!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Comments: Thank you so much for such an amazing performance at our wedding - everybody has commented on how brilliant the band was.
The best thing was that everybody got up and danced right from the beginning, and the massive dance off was the absolute highlight!
Thank you for learning the song we requested (Don't stop believin' by Journey), a very impressive rendition particularly at such short notice!
You absolutely made the party and I've had so many comments about what fun the music was and how great the band was.
In addition D:Funk were incredibly professional and reliable and I didn't have to worry at all about anything to do with the music.
Thank you!!

Comments: You were fantastic. Having seen you at a friend's wedding in August (James and AnnMarie on 01 August 2009), we wondered whether you would be as good, but you were actually better!
Thank you so much, everyone loved your music and you all have such personality which was brilliant.
Also, from the outset, you were incredibly efficient and responsive and so I can only say, 11 out of 10 and I would go with you every time.
Best wishes and thanks to the whole team,
Louisa Paston

Comments: Hey Guys, Blinder of a party on Saturday and D-Funk, were not just good they were absolutely amazing, the place went nuts for them and they really enjoyed themselves as well.
D-Funk are young, good looking, dynamic and cool. They were punctual for set up, polite and well turned out. It was only when they started playing did we realize quite what an exceptional band we had got on our hands and what an incredible night was to come, these guys are the SAS of Soul, the Ninjas of Night Boogie, they put the F into Funk and the P into Party.
120 delighted and costumed guests danced the night away to this incredible band. The musicianship was world class, book this band now, see them up close and feel the force, in a couple of years time they will be playing Wembley Stadium and you will have missed your chance... They were that good, amazing night...

Comments: I just wanted to drop you a line and say a massive thank you for your contribution to Friday night, so many of the participants thought that you guys were absolutely fantastic.
I know it can't have been easy to start a set at 3am but you guys truly added to the fantastic atmosphere at the IET and I only hope that you managed to enjoy it and grab a glass or two of champagne as well throughout the course of the evening.
Thanks again and I will definitely keep you in mind for future occasions.

Comments: Just to say thanks so much for playing at our wedding you were totally fantastic!
All of our guests thought you were great - every person at the wedding from 19 - 90 years old was up and dancing, you really catered for everyone!
Thanks for being so flexible with the set/song lists and also for staying and playing late on the night - the guest could not get enough of you and lots of people have phoned us since to say how excellent the band was.
If we ever have another big event you will definitely be our first choice! Thanks, you really made our wedding a day to remember and we would recommend you to anyone!

Comments: I hired the D-Funk after going to see them in a pub just outside of London. Only needed to listen to one song and knew that they would be perfect. Within minutes of being on stage they had everyone up dancing.
Cannot speak highly enough of them. Will use them again in the future for sure and people from the event were raving about them. Very cool and highly talented band.

Comments: I just wanted to send you a message to thank you and the rest of the band on an absolutely amazing performance at our wedding.
Every person we have spoken to has commented on how brilliant you all were (even Roz who stole you mic to do her Amy Winehouse impression!!).
You really did make our wedding complete and me and Sarah would like to thank you. The first dance rendition of Rule The World was absolutely first class.
Thanks for the amazing memories you have given us. If you ever need someone to use as a reference then feel free to give my details out and if we ever need any music again, you will be the only band we think of. I would also expect to see a group as good as you at the top one day! Then I can say "they played at my wedding"!
