Fully Functional Party Band

 

 

		Fully FunCtional are the ultimate party people! An 6-10 piece professional band featuring top London session musicians with outrageously cool credits including Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Rod Stewart, BBC Big Band, Kylie, Natalie Cole, Phil Collins, Girls Aloud, Bryan Adams, Kevin Spacey, S-Club 7, Jamie Cullum, Westlife, Craig David, Lemar, Dionne Warwick, Rose Royce, Kid Creole, Four Tops, Supremes, Michael McDonald, Diana Krall, Daniel Beddingfield, the Pop Idol, Stars In Their Eyes, Strictly Come Dancing & Parkinson TV series, many TV and radio commercials and TV specials, Hollywood movie soundtracks including Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, King Arthur, Thunderbirds, Mindhunters, Agent Cody Banks, Beyond The Sea, She Hate Me, The Royal Variety Performance, Children In Need, virtually every West End show including Chicago, Jerry Springer The Opera, The Producers, Anything Goes, Fame, Saturday Night Fever, Fosse, The Full Monty, Witches of Eastwick, Ratpack Show & umpteen others. They also have played for Her Majesty The Queen, Prince Charles & Camilla - at The Grand Ballroom in Buckingham Palace and for Paul McCartney's wedding and Elton John's birthday.
		Fully FunCtional is definitely not a bunch of musicians that stand and politely go through the motions. They are the Ultimate Party People! If you want to see horn players starting a conga-line, the guitarist encouraging guest to assist in a wild solo, the singer serenading people even outside the room and the bass player doing the occasional backslide across the dancefloor mid song, then this the the band you need to hire.
		Whatever you like best, they'll add an extra helping & keep you coming back for more.

 

 

 

		Client Comment
		This is a little delayed but I just wanted to say that Fully Functional were absolutely fantastic. They had both us and our guests on the floor all evening and we have had nothing but positive feedback so I thought I should pass it on! The band were great fun, extremely talented and very professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or to use them again. Kind Regards, Crystal (Wedding 10/08/07)
		"SENSATIONAL!!!!! Thanks so much" Bradley Walsh, Coronation Street
		"WOW, Wonderful, Superb, Fantastic - what a band!" This is what so many of our guests said to us on & after our wedding day. You simply were SUPERB" Lucy Clayden, Hertfordshire
		"Bloody excellent fun, a brilliant band!" Tom Jones
		Can I just say a great big thank you to you and the rest of Fully Functional for making our Birthday Party such an incredible success.  The quality of the band was always going to be the make or break of the party and you really turned out to be the MAKE of our evening, I have lost count of the number of guests who have raved about the fantastic entertainment that you delivered. Can't wait to be 40 again so that I can have a re-run! Thanks is not enough but thanks!  Pasqualina and Richard"

Dream Themes...  As well as the famously funky party band, Fully FunCtional are also able to 'slip into something more comfortable' if your event has a special theme. Whether it be a flare-fest from the sequinned Studio 54 doing all that's groovy from the 70s, shouting Aloha! in a beach party theme in grass skirts & leis with the Hawaii 5-0s, donning a naughty schoolgirl uniform as The Prefects to whisk you back to a Skool Daze , or maybe Catwoman, Superman & Co as The Groovie Movie Band, or get 'shagadellic baby' in an Austin Powers theme with Mojo, try a rock-up with anthems & pop/rock classics from Rock-it, or add a chunk of cheddar for the Ultimate Cheese Party Live, playing all the classics you love and from YMCA to D.I.S.C.O.

Fully FunCtional can also offer dinner jazz, cocktail piano, trumpet fanfares & various reception/background music ensembles. In suave & sassy attire to suit your event or spangley flares, sequins & afros for a 70s extravaganza  or movie/superhero costumes for a Hollywood theme. They have the flexibility to cater for a specialized audience/theme, or perform as a normal, albeit vastly superior function band. All this topped off with a pumping disco, lights & full PA & all the trimmings to keep the party going as long as you can take it!
