Cut the Cake - Funk Covers Band Feedback

“Having been back from our honeymoon a few days and the chance to reflect on our weddng day, Rachel and I wanted to thank you and the band for being such a fantastic part of the occasion. We have had such wonderful comments from the guests and in particular how much they enjoyed the band. I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to thank you in person on the night, but we both got completely carried away. Could you please pass on our thanks to everyone else involved. ”

Neil & Rachel,

“Thank you so much for playing at our wedding 3rd September. We got back from our honeymoon with so many great memories of the day, thank you for be an amazing part of it. The music was incredible, even better than we could possibly have imagined, and kept us dancing into the small hours. Everyone has commented how fantastic the band was and they enjoyed every moment. Thank you for being so easy to work with and making our day such a success. Thanks again and hope see you play soon ”

Andy & Nicole,

“What can I say? They made the evening, not only for my clients who danced and danced and danced until we practically had to cut the power to get them off the dance floor and into bed, but also for me as I've never worked with such a great group of fabulous, easy-going musicians! ”

Cut the Cake - Funk Covers Band Set Up

PA Options
As standard we use top of the range audio equipment which is installed and operated on each engagement by our very own team. Because the band is fully engineered this ensures the perfect sound mix for each and every event.
The standard vocal rig is ideal for events up to 150 people or small function rooms, allowing competitive prices and excellent value for money.
For larger weddings and events, we can provide a top of the range 4000 watt PA system with engineer which is suitable to perform to a room of anything up to 400 guests. Larger systems are available on request to cater for any size of event.
It is possible to down size the system to a vocal PA with independent backline amplification only. This is perfect for events that are being held in smaller rooms that would accommodate approximately 80 guests or less.
We can play venues of almost any size. We don't play any louder than is absolutely necessary to create the right atmosphere and have years of experience creating fabulous weddings and parties. We believe that it’s worth paying just a little more to guarantee that your guests will have a memorable evening.
