Comments

Why comments? well.. It wasn’t our idea at first. At the end of our shows everybody came to us buzzing about how much they enjoyed the band and the general vibe of the party; asking where they could share the experience and thanking us for the fantastic set to which they were dancing throughout the night …so here is what they have to say..

    These guys turned a very special celebration into an event to be reckoned with. The dance floor was packed to their sexy sound as they rocked our party. Having them perform simply added so much kudos to the night. I look forward to booking them again. Huge thanks to you all.

    We were also performing at the special celebration party and they were true professional throughout the night, everyone was thoroughly entertained. We would have no qualms about booking them for future events.

  • Olly

    Me and my partner went out for a quiet meal and decided to have drink after at the venue you were playing at in Newbury, it turned out to be one of the best nights out in a long time. Music and vocals were amazing.Come back soon!!!

  • Bruce

    Saw these guys at Newbury – excellent band, excellent performance and excellent music. If you are looking to book a band that gives good entertainment and gets the place rocking, then these are the guys.

  • John and Kristy

    We saw Soul Funk Secret in North London in early 2009 and had were so impressed with their ability, audience interaction and upbeat sound that we booked them for our wedding in August. They performed so well and had everyone on their feet dancing. They were really the highlight of our wedding reception and the day wouldn’t have been the same without them. Great music (covers and originals), superb musicians and great banter. Thanks for helping make it an evening that will live long in the memory!

    Hi SouldFunk (James, Marco and the rest…).

    Wishing you all the success on your upcoming event at the 7 Seas in Cyprus. Bring the HOUSE DOWN!!!!! Don’t forget to post all exploits on FaceBook!!!!

  • Yiannis & Anastasia

    Soul Funk Secret played at our wedding in July 2010 and were exceptional! They are very professional and hard working, and accomodated all our requests, including a customised version of Sinatra’s ‘Fly me to the moon’ in varying tempo, which they performed flawlessly. They had everyone on their feet after dinner and all our guests loved them. Can’t recommend them enough!

    Guys…we have to get you to come and gig in Andalusia. We need some groove over here!

  • Gemma and Chris Jarmain

    Soul Funk Secret performed at our wedding on 28th December 2010 and they made our night! The dance floor was jam packed all evening and all of our guests commented on how fantastic they were! Not only are they a group of exceptionally talented musicians, but they are also really friendly and approachable and nothing was too much trouble during the planning of the wedding.

    We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!
    Thanks guys, you made our night a night to remember!!

    thanks Chris :-)

  • Georgina

    Thanks for performing at my 60th bash and playing music from my era !  Everyone commented on how professional you are, what good musicians and what nice guys.  Even the ones who weren’t dancing enjoyed the music.  What a night to remember. Thanks again. Georgina

  • Jan Deluxe

    Hi Marco

    Just a wee note to thank you for making our event super special, again.  Some of our members remembered you from our event in Leeds.  You can always tell if a band is good when guests are still dancing till the very end!  Everyone thought you were all really talented musicians and they loved your choices of songs (especially Jules’ version of The Black Crowes song).  Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band – wish we could book you for our next event in Belfast – but unfortunately we can’t ship you over there!  I will ask Jules to let me know when you are playing around London and we shall pop in to see you all.

    All the best
    Jan Deluxe

     thank you so much Jan :-) We’ll keep you posted with our gig dates and we are looking forward to see you at our next one.

    Best wishes
