"Can you pass on our thanks to Adam and Jack for Saturday night. They were brilliant. I would have no hesitation in hiring them again or recommending them to someone else. Very professional yet friendly & fantastic sound."

"We booked the guys to play their part in our party themed on New York in the late 50s ( like West Side Story). The perfect choice as it turned out. They even worked a couple of new songs into their set. Would see them again when playing one of their more regular gigs in town. Highly recommended!"

"I honestly could not recommend Thomas enough. I just so happened to stumble across him when I was searching for wedding live acoustic singers. It was important to me to have someone who would sing the love songs of our choice for ceremony etc and who could then bring the vibes at the wedding drinks reception also. He did both so perfectly. We picked quite different songs for ceremony including Edith whiskers & then oasis for departure and he sang them all so beautifully and nailed each one in his own way & version. All through the conversations from start to finish he was so lovely and willing to take on all our ideas. I wanted up beat for drinks reception and he said he would just go with the vibes of the guests and he smashed that. We had a garden ceremony with a lot of outdoor drinks, and garden games and he slot it fantastically being outdoors and made it such a wonderful afternoon. It says something when your male guests could not stop dancing and singing along to the music, the guests and Thomas enjoyed it that much he over ran his allocated time and sang right through to our wedding breakfast, which wasn’t planned but very much appreciated and he could see how much fun everybody was having and enjoying every song. He also worked along side our DJ to sing our first dance song, which was Miles smith stargazing, and he smashed it. Watching videos back I am so happy with how it sounded & how much he got the crowd going, as when you are in the moment it all just sounds like a blur but the videos and my comments from my guests speak for themselves. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Do not hesitate to book for your wedding, ours would not have been the same without him. Thank you from the bottom of our heart Thomas, memories to last a lifetime."

"We hired MT's Party Collective for our evening wedding reception and they were excellent! As requested they did a mostly swing set for the first hour whilst evening guests were warming up, and went into full blown party mode in the second set. Everyone raved about them, and besides being very professional, they were really nice guys. Would definitely recommend!"

"The singer and the rest of the band were superb when they played at our Cheshire wedding. We can't thank you all enough - everyone loved you guys and guests keep telling us how much they enjoyed the band! You performed our first dance song so well and the perfect mix of jazz, swing and modern jazz went down a treat. A special thanks to you all!"

"Andy was booked to play at our Hotel relaunch following a substantial refurbishment under new ownership. We were looking for a classy, smooth, professional yet approachable and friendly act, and we certainly got that with Andy. An extremely successful night and he played a big part in that. We subsequently re-booked him for Christmas Eve, and next Christmas Eve, and will undoubtedly have him entertain at other events and weddings here throughout the year - he is our new favourite act! Cannot recommend him highly enough. (we tried to get him for NYE too, but he's already booked elsewhere!) Thanks again Andy, see you soon. "

"Friday night was awesome. The band were brilliant, and everybody really enjoyed the music and thought they were excellent. They started off the ball with a very classy bang! Thank you for recommending them, and for your help in liaising with the band and answering my many queries!"

"To anyone who wants their party to go with a bang! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Funk N’ Soul excelled themselves at my birthday party last Saturday – they really made the evening for me. What was really brilliant about this band was that they had learned some of my old favourite songs specially for the evening and they brought the house down! They are all full time professional and very accomplished singers and musicians and really lovely, friendly folk too! It would seem that nothing is too much for them – they even played along with my youngest daughter who played Happy Birthday on her trumpet for me! They also looked like they were all having fun performing and the vibe in the marquee was so upbeat that no-one cared about the torrential rain outside! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a fantastic time! Thanks again guys for making my day! Love Sally"

"We had a fantastic experience with Fann Street Hot Club. They were exactly what we wanted, and more. All our guests wanted to know where on earth we had found you! Thank you so much for all the attention to detail, answering the (many!) emails from me, and your gorgeous playing. We hope to hear you play again. All our very best wishes, Anna Copp"

"What a delight to have booked Jess for our customers Sunday afternoon treat, she was amazing. I received this message from a regular very shortly after Jess's performance: " Where did you get Jessica from. She was West end musical theatre quality. Absolutely amazing and lovely with it." Jess showed such professionalism and her range of vocals was fantastic a real voice to be heard. Thank you Jess and we will be in touch again soon to rebook and will be keeping a keen eye on your continuing success. All the best your friends at One Green Bottle "

"These guys blew us away. They were ridiculously good, they let our friend sing a song, they were just seamless and endlessly talented. We would recommend these guys to anyone who wants real finger-clicking music that creates a wonderful atmosphere and pours magic into your big night. These guys blew us away. Seriously, they were amazing. We could not have loved Dai and the guys more."

"My wife and I heard The Full Beans at a friend’s wedding and felt they would be perfect for my Oktoberfest themed 30th birthday. They did not disappoint and were arguably even better than we remember. The two sets they played went down and absolute treat, the songs they played were a brilliant take on the originals, that got everyone up dancing and singing along, there were definitely no shortage of people on the dance floor. Jake, who helped organise, was really helpful and was always quick to respond to my emails. I would happily recommend them to anyone who wants a really good knees up! Thanks again, was cracking!"
