Testimonials

"Dear Tim, thank you - it was huge fun having you with us this weekend and we have received loads of compliments about "the band". We all thought you were brilliant. I am so pleased to have worked with you at last and can see that we will be ringing you up fairly frequently"

Wonkie Hills, Managing Director, Zest Events


"We regularly book The Funk & Soul Crew, they play great funk and soul music from 70s classics to current funky stuff like 'Macy Gray'. Tim knocks 'em dead every time, a great band".
Terry Etheridge Entertainment and Events manager, The Roadhouse, Covent Garden, London

"I'd like to thank you and the other members of The Funk & Soul Crew for being so superb at Niral and my wedding at Stationers' Hall on 13th September. You were all brilliant and weve had nothing but positive comments from all our family and friends. We couldn't have had a better band, so thanks a million."
Fiona Patel


"Thanks for a fantastic evening"
Off The Record Entertainment Ltd

"Barton does have a nice line in irreverent, larrikin style repartee and it's always nice to see a band having as much fun on stage as these guys do. Anyone who can do 'It's Not Unusual' for an encore and bring the house down has my vote. I defy anyone not to have a good time with The Funk & Soul Crew."
TNT Magazine

"Just a note to thank The Funk & Soul Crew so much...everyone was asking, 'Where did you find the band, they are great?'....so the evening went extremely well."
Wendy Morgan, American Women of Surrey, Hampton Court Palace, 5 March 2005

"..I just really wanted to write and thank you for making our wedding reception such a good one. You really were fantastic and created such a good atmosphere - it was exactly what we wanted and you exceeded expectation"
Kathryn and James


"The Funk & Soul Crew really made the night finish with a bang!! The selection of songs, lighting and sound quality were to a very high standard and perfectly match the mood of the day. Please can you thank them on our behalf as they were very accommodating and worked around our schedule and needs. Many thanks."
