We hired funfiction for our wedding. They were fantastic from start to finish. It was a bit of a tough gig for them as due to the sunny weather, most people were outside when they started. However, they played on and soon drew lots of people inside for a dance. Cant fault the singing and instrument playing, it really was fantastic. Thanks for a great day. Hayley and Ged.

Fabrizio and the band were amazing for our wedding. Very accommodating to our requests, they played a great set list that had everybody dancing, and the amount of times I heard people asking ‘who are this band?’ spoke for itself. Highly recommended

Excellent, amazing band who completed our 60th birthday event perfectly. Lovely guys, extremely talented and when our guests wanted to join in they were extremely accommodating they enabled my husband to reclaim some aspect of his youth and have a quick go on the drum kit which was a very personal highlight for everyone and topped off his birthday! Also I’d like to express my immense appreciation that they played through adverse weather conditions completing the set against all the odds in a tropical downpour. Will definitely be booking them again if they have any availability.

Massive thank you to Fabrizio who travelled up to Shropshire on Saturday with Funfiction for our Wedfest. You absolutely smashed it! What a set! Cannot thank you enough for stepping into the breach with just one week to go. Lovely guys and superb musicians! Hope to see you play again soon, Clare & Paul.
