"Dave and I would like to say a huge thank you to Funkytown for performing at our wedding. It wouldn't have been the same without them! Will definately recommend.

Funkytown were amazing. They brought such a great atmosphere to our evening reception. All the guests were dancing and have commented as to how superb they were. They were all very friendly and professional.

"Funkytown arrived on time and everything went smoothly. They did all their sets as planned and the evening went very well indeed. They were also easy on the eye. In many ways they were unobtrusive, which sounds negative but is not meant like that. They got on with playing their music without a lot of banter or any self-important dilly dallying around.

Before the event Funkytown phoned as planned to check on the order of the evening and make sure everything was ok. As promised they learnt a new song for the first dance. They also provided a cd of music for between the sets which meant we did not have to also have a DJ. If I were to have the event again I would not change anything."

"This band were amazing.

They are approachable, polite, accommodating with our requests prior to the wedding, even singing our rewritten version of our first dance.

All of our guests commented on what a great set they played and there were only a few guests that resisted the temptation to hit the dancefloor.

A massive thankyou to each member. I seriously can not recommend these guys enough. They will make your night fantastic.

We’ve used Alive Network’s services in the past when they were recommended to me and we will definitely continue to use them in the future. 10/10 for service and for all their support in helping us to choose the right band for our event.

"Funkytown were friendly and accommodating. They kept the atmosphere pleasant and the guests dancing. I couldn't have asked for a better band.

It was useful to have several bands on one site and to have a good collection of MP3's to listen to. Some sites do similar things, but in the end it was the tracks for the Vibetown that convinced us to go with you. In other words it was the quality of the band that sold your service.

Funkytown are an excellent and talented band who will provide a great atmosphere for your function. The Alive Network doesn't get in the way of them providing this.
