After seeing Get Funked at Under The Bridge, I didn’t hesitate in booking them for Tesco’s Store Managers’ Corporate Event at the NEC. They brought the whole event to life and people talked about them for weeks afterwards!
They are incredibly professional and are loads of fun. I would without doubt book them for my next event!

Alive Network have been working with Get Funked for over 10 years, performing at some of our biggest events throughout Europe and the Middle East. They are THE number one event band in the UK, completely unrivalled in terms of performance and professionalism. An outstanding band in every respect.

David Bevan, Managing Director of the Alive Network Entertainment Agency

You guys got rave reviews, it was definitely the way for the second part of the night to go. Not one person has mentioned a DJ in any conversation.
Thanks again it was superb!

We are so pleased to be able to recommend Get Funked to our clients. We last had them for a big event at The Four Seasons in Dubai in 2015: “Polina in Wonderland”. Visually their show was incredible and their sound was of the highest quality. They interacted with Polina and her guests and they left a lasting impression on everybody. Get Funked and special guest CeeLo Green entertained guests right into the early hours of the morning. It was fantastic!

Marina Kiss, Creative Producer at Renovatio Ent – The Four Seasons Dubai

What a difference a live band makes and Get Funked is one of our favourites.
For the last 7 years they’ve been creating a great vibe at Supernova and our clients continue to enjoy their original delivery and lively performances.

Di Bailey, Director of Planit Events

I have been working with Martyn and Get Funked for the past couple of years and as bands go there is absolutely nothing better on the circuit. The musicians are unbelievable at what they do and I get nothing but amazing feedback about the band. Not only that, they are also great people to work with.

Louise Perry, Creative Director at Louise Perry Weddings

Get Funked put on a fantastic performance for my husband’s 50th birthday party. The dance floor was full all night and the show has left a huge impression
on all our guests.

Denise Coates CBE, Chief Executive of Bet365

We’ve been working with Get Funked for 7 years. They are phenomenal, incredibly professional, at top of their game and have worked on many high profile international events for us. I can’t recommend them enough and thank you Martyn for years of loyal service. We look forward to many more years of events with you!

Archie Archer, Managing Director at Contraband International

From an event organiser’s perspective, Martyn and the Get Funked Band are undoubtedly some of the most organised, flexible and professional entertainers I have had the good fortune to work with. Whether it be performing at a wedding with Ella Henderson or a showpiece finale for a FTSE 100 client event.

Mark Tilley, Director of Palette Events, Alexandra Palace – London

Apart from being fabulous, engaging musicians that were enjoyed by absolutely everyone, we also very much appreciated the outstanding professionalism of Get Funked.
It was refreshingly simple to work with Martyn and the band.

Angela Kipling, Managing Director of Kipling Events, the Zappeion – Athens

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Get Funked, who were truly professional and well organised. The guests loved the performances – it was very energetic and vibrant and we would be glad to
have them back again.”

Faiza Abubaker, Fab Productions – Dubai
The event went superbly well and the band were amazing – the floor was filled from the first song right to the last – I just felt sorry for the DJ after who had to try and get people back on the dance floor. They were a really nice group of people too as I have experienced some bands before who are real divas and don’t make it easy for the event organiser, but your guys were a breeze to deal with and very self-sufficient. Thanks again for all your help and we look forward to working with you and the band in future.

I booked Get Funked for a high-profile event that in turn had high expectations. Not only did they exceed these, they knocked them right out of the park! Get Funked have a big sound and even bigger stage presence. Their high-energy performance kept guests captivated and the dance floor full. Band Manager, Martyn Strange, made the booking & logistics process both easy & enjoyable. The unique style in which he manages the band, means I’m confident I could book them time again yet receive a line-up that is chosen specifically for my event each time. Truly brilliant.

TO ALL THE TALENTED MEMBERS OF GET FUNKED. I felt I had to put pen to paper or rather hand to keyboard and thank you all for putting on such a fantastic show for my Charlotte and Joe’s wedding at Wentworth on the 6th July. You guy’s certainly know how to work an audience, and the atmosphere you created in the Ballroom that evening was beyond amazing. Your girls were up there with ‘Martha and the Vandells’ in their prime and the boys’ vocals and range were second to none. As for all you band members at the back (the ones who did all the real work 🙂 ) the brass, percussion and strings combined so well nobody could or wanted to stop dancing – I’m sure, for not a large number of people, you must have noticed. Every phone call, message and letter I have had (and there have been many) has said ‘what an unbelievable band, where did you find them, it was one of the most memorable parts of their day etc etc’. It’s now 3 weeks on and everyone who was there is still talking about you all!!! I’m sure in 3 years they still be talking about you. I truly hope that, although it was another day at the office for you all, you enjoyed the evening as much as everybody else did – we are desperately racking our brains to create an occasion thats special enough to warrant having the band again. WE WILL COME UP WITH SOMETHING!!! Thank you all so, so much – you are an extremely talented group of people that should be sooo proud of yourselves. With gratitude and a smile that will remain in my heart always. Wendy Warner xxxx

We used Get Funked for our 25th wedding anniversary two weeks ago. They were absolutely incredible! Dance floor packed all night and we would have paid to go see them. Highly professional. First class musicians and vocals. wow wow wow!!
Denise Ballard, The Belfry
We wanted a live band at our wedding and we spent a lot of time researching bands. We found Get Funked online and they looked perfect. The music was exactly as we wanted. The closer it got to our wedding the more excited we became and we were hoping the band lived up to our expectations. Well they were better by far than anything we expected. Even the stage setup and lighting were impressive, let alone the band. They were simply incredible and did a superb job of getting everyone on to the dance floor. The music was brilliant and they tailored it to our specific soul / funk choices. They even performed our first song dance which was amazing. All in all they were the highlight of the day. Our only regret was not booking them for longer! Everyone commented on how incredible they were and the main topic of conversation at breakfast the following day was simply about how good the band was! Suffice to say we would happily recommend and book Get Funked again. Amazing.

Hello Martyn. Firstly, a HUGE thank you for all your efforts to have contributed to Zeb and Olivia’s wedding – your contribution with your team and the band were flawless and made the evening flow perfectly, in fact it seemed like it only lasted 10 minutes. As for your ‘relatively unknown band’ – they were superb on every level – performance, variety and generally they gave out so very much as performers and we all noticed, and appreciated that on the midnight hour when they could have stopped, they kept playing well past the allotted time. The arrangements (by your drummer I believe you mentioned) were the foundation for every piece performed, moving from style-to-style effortlessly. You mentioned that each separately did sessions, etc. and if interested, I’d be happy to put them forward to our production company who work with a roster of composers/arrangers/MDs. Thank you again Martyn, and wishing you continued success. Jeff

Hey dude. Just a massive thank you again for last night! You guys absolutely smashed it, and we’re so appreciative of the extra time you gave, and all the time put into everything. I know you made a lot of new fans amongst the guests too. We never got to have that beer (unless I was so drunk and don’t remember), so keep in touch and when you’re in the area give us a shout! Thank you thank you – Mr & Mrs Wayne x
Zeb Wayne, Four Seasons, Hampshire
Martyn – THANK YOU – your band and you were beyond incredible. I trusted you from the moment I met you at Alice House that you would make our day amazing, but I couldn’t have imagined how talented, slick, professional and awesome you guys were – out of this world – and all our friends and family can’t stop raving about you!! Let me know whatever I can do to endorse, help you guys out – it would be such a pleasure to give something back (feels off balance at the moment) 😉 thank you again! xx
Olivia Godrey, Four Seasons, Hampshire
Just like to say a huge thank you for performing at our recent wedding party. Every single one of our guests were totally blown away by you guys. Professional from the very start to the very end of the evening …totally slick and seamless production …our only criticism was that it had to end! We won’t hesitate to recommend to anyone considering a top class band …thanks again! x
Neil and Alison Fordham, Marquee in Essex
Hi Martyn, I just wanted to let you know that the band were an absolute smash hit with everyone at the wedding. Justine & I thought they were brilliant. We were so pleased with the atmosphere they created through a great performance. Many people asked us for the band’s details or a business card. We obviously told them to ask us after the wedding & we’d be pleased to pass on contact details. The band really helped to make the wedding day special for us. We can’t recommend you guys highly enough. Thank you x
Stephen & Justine Petersen, Penny Hill Park & Spa
Firstly I would just like to say how BRILLIANT the band were on Saturday. They did a great set and everyone has been raving about them ever since. Lots of people have asked for their details so hopefully you will get some business out of it! …I hope they all got home OK on Saturday given the weather conditions and thanks to you for all of your assistance.
Lauren Khouri, Hinton House
Simply the best gig I’ve ever been to in London! We bought tickets randomly through seetickets. We were just looking for a fun night out but we couldn’t believe it when we got down to the venue. You guys were insanely good, the venue was unbelievable and we had one of the best nights that I can remember!!! I’ve emailed you already but please please please let me know if you are performing in London again anytime soon! Sarah x

I am writing to thank you for providing the most incredible entertainment at Sarah and Darren’s wedding last weekend. The positive feedback we have had about Get Funked has been unrelenting! Many people at the event had never seen this band before and so many were asking for contact details as to who we had used and how we had found you! We would have no hesitation in recommending the band to anyone looking for entertainment of this standard. Working with you throughout the planning has been an absolute pleasure and we cannot thank you enough for helping to make this day so memorable for everybody who was present. Please would you pass on our thanks to each of the individual members of the band and congratulate them on an incredible performance. Many people have commented on the music between courses which they had never seen before. Saran and Darren were absolutely delighted with the running order and the atmosphere that Get Funked created throughout the whole evening. I wish you and the band every success in the future.

Hopefully you will now receive lots of recommendations from our guests and we will certainly spread the word!

I just wanted to say to you and the Get Funked members a very merry Christmas from Tom and I. We still think about our wedding day all the time and our friends often comment on how much fun they had on the dance floor even 3 months later! Thought you’d like to see our wedding blog which has some great photos of the band and everyone enjoying them… http://photosbyjessica.co.uk/blog/tom-debbie-headley-and-botleys-mansion-wedding/ Happy new year too!

I just wanted to say thank you to you and the band for pulling off such a wonderful show at short notice on Friday night. Everyone had a great party – compliments to you all! I hope you managed to get some sleep before you left for the long journey home.

Saw you guys at a friends party last week and you were amazing! I have blisters on my feet still and I’m pretty sure you guys are to blame. You’re the funkiest band I’ve ever seen!!!!
Chloe Billinghurst, Claridges, London
Get Funked were without a doubt one of the best parts of our wedding day! Having struggled to find a quality, contemporary band suitable for our occasion, we were thrilled with the standard of Get Funked. The dance floor was always full, the crowd LOVED the cool setlist which missed new and old, and the way the band got guests involved…we didn’t want it to end!! A number of our guests have asked for the bands details for their own weddings and we would definitely book them again!
Kat Brown / Elle Magasine, Ripley Castle
Thank you so much for providing the band last week – our clients were really delighted as follows: ** We just wanted to say a very large THANK YOU for all your help on Thursday with the party. We were so pleased with everything. You were fantastic to deal with and got everything just right. The band were brilliant. Thank you, thank you. Speak soon and thanks again!
