Reviews

We had absolute play at our wedding and they were honestly better then I could have ever imagined. They are absolutely lovely and were so friendly and accommodating up to the event. They even learned our first dance song for us. They made our day so special. Also the vocals are SO GOOD. Couldn't recommend them more

Hannah & Daniel Wedding, Redcoats Farm, Hertfordshire

We were looking for a modern Irish band to play at our autumn barn wedding and when we found Funky Folk we knew they were perfect! They played some great modern upbeat Irish songs, mixed in with other pop and rock classics, getting everyone on the dance floor and a great fit for our amazing wedding. Cannot thank you enough for everything and making our day so memorable and special. Thanks so much! x

Chloe & Mike Wedding, Old Luxters Barn, Henley – on

We had absolute play our recent wedding at Northbrook Park and they were incredible! The dance floor was full from start to finish, with the band bringing so much energy to the evening.

We requested a number of songs from their repertoire, which they played all of, and we left the remaining time for them to play what worked with the crowd on the night - We had an Irish twist to our wedding, and the band were the perfect group who delivered brilliantly! We had multiple guests asking who the band were and complimenting them for really making the evening what it was.

We had an amazing day, and a brilliant evening, helped made possible by Funky Folk.

We would thoroughly recommend anyone considering getting a band to book with absolute!

Heidi & Connor Wedding, Northbrook Park

Couldn't Recommend Funky Folk enough ! They were the perfect end to our wedding day, a good mixture of pop and Irish tunes got the party going.

Giorgio & Gemma Wedding, Bunny Hill Farm

Awesome band - they played both pop/rock bangers as well as Irish music which was important to us. They knew what songs to play and when to get the crowd going. We had so many people compliment the live music and it really topped the end of a wonderful day - thank you so much.
