Review Centre: Function Bands

"There really should be a maximum word count for these reviews because I could write a novel about these guys. The promo materials they have are great, but I can assure you they’re so much better live and are also the sweetest people ever. No ask was too much for Jimmy (we were so annoying too honestly), he’s an absolute pro. They even learnt a couple of requests for us and delivered them flawlessly. They had their work cut out with us. 1/3 of our guests were working (pretentious and judgey) musicians and everyone was feral for them. Also, all the girls and gays (myself included) were banging on about how hot Jimmy is which is a (albeit problematic) bonus. Seriously guys, thank you for making our day all the more special. I’m eternally grateful to have found you. "

"Oh what a night...! Can't thank the 'Yorkshire Oompah Band' enough for making my 40th Birthday a night to remember. If you want a birthday that's simply amazing then these are your guys. Incredible musicians & incredible fun!"

"Dear Paul Solid Gold were a huge success on Saturday night Thank you for a terrific performance and for all your patience and enthusiasm running up to the wedding. I am looking forward to playing your CD and thank you for that too. Altogether we had a wonderful weekend and everyone loved the band. We only have one daughter to marry off but if we ever need a band again will be in touch. All the best to you all and thank you all very much indeed, Imogen "

"We booked this amazing band for a big birthday party in August. Their versatility and musical ability enabled all the guests to experience a variety of music including jazz, soul and old and new styles. They arranged covers to suit the occasion and had everybody singing along, dancing and really enjoying themselves. They played background music at first so that people could chat and moved onto more lively numbers as the evening went on. The female singer has a beautiful voice! I would highly recommend this talented group of musicians for any event. You will be enthralled and entertained and certainly not disappointed!"

"What a lovely bunch of chaps. We were worried when we were told that frontman Jeremy had been taken ill a few days before our wedding day. But thankfully Sam stepped in to save the day. All band members arrived on time, were super friendly and chatty, and put on a terrific show despite the frankly insane 30 degree heat of our wedding day. Sam even took the time to quickly learn a very special, unusual request that we'd asked the band to play, and he totally pulled it out of the bag. Thank you so much for trekking all the way to Surrey to play for us. "

"Booked these guys for my wedding and they were epic. They even learnt our song as the first dance especially for us. They have a really strong repertoire that keeps the crowd entertained throughout because there’s music for everyone to enjoy. They also have a sound engineer included in the price that makes sure the band sound projects exactly as it should in each venue space. They did 3 x 40 minute sets for us and it built up towards the last set which felt like a club/festival when they played You Got The Love. They left their sound system up for another hour after they’d finished too so the party could go on until midnight. They didn’t rush off when they finished and they were all really nice people and easy going. All the guests have said how amazing they were so big thanks to you guys! Could not recommend them enough, you’re missing out if you don’t book Groove Allstars Pat & Sarah, Wedding at Runa Farm – 2nd December 2023 "

"On 22nd July 2024, Sandeep, the lead-man (RBFS c/o LMM) on the sitar, alongside with his two associates, on the sitar and tabla, respectively, were an absolute joy to have, gracing the occasion of my daughter’s wedding ceremony! Their music renditions, during the proceedings enhanced and transformed the atmosphere completely to a magical/nostalgic levels! We and all our guests thoroughly appreciated and enjoying every ‘number’, ranging from the traditional to the ‘current’ Bollywood tunes. All in all the emotions of a dear daughter’s wedding ceremony were even more raised, in such a great way, by their flawless performance ! Couldn’t have imagined a better ‘theatre’!! Most grateful to you all!!♥️"

"I wanted to thank you and the band again for being absolutely brilliant at our wedding! We've had so many wonderful comments from family and friends. We absolutely loved our wedding and working with you helped make it the fun, joyous celebration we wanted (and waited 2 years for!) "

"Eat Square booked The Mystery Machine for our Charity Christmas Pie & Mash Dinner. We had hired a sizeable hall and the band filled it with great sounds. The music really added atmosphere and filled the hall with cheer. We are sure people stayed longer, spent more on the bar (all for charity) and had a fantastic evening as a result of the fantastic selection of hits played by the band. We will have no hesitation booking them again."

"What an amazing vibey act that really gets the party started! We could not have been happier with JBMAC, they were so professional and lovely and really knew how to ramp things up. Also the voice on Nora is something else 👌Would definitely recommend them for all occasions. They even did an additional song upon request that they learnt especially for our big day. Just perfect. Thank you so much for being part of the wedding, it meant so much to us, Caitlin & Marc xxx p.s the reel they posted on instagram was also a really lovely bonus."

"We had the T Tones for our wedding band. They were absolutely amazing and entertaining. They had everybody up dancing (all generations) and really created a fun atmosphere. We had so many comments on the band. The lead singer has some fantastic dance moves and a superb voice!! A great band that topped off our unforgettable day! Thank you to Richer Music for providing them. Abi and Ed"
