What people say

• Columbo were fantastic, they made our evening reception. So many people were up dancing! The music suited the many different age groups we had there. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. The same goes for Function Central, they were great from the outset. I felt totally confident in them and would definitely use them again.

• Columbo were absolutely fantastic in every way. Great music- that really got people dancing, the singer has an amazing voice- not at all cheesy like so many wedding bands. They were lovely guys and totally professional- did everything they said they would and put up with drunken friends stealing their tambourines with saint-like good humour and patience. Everyone enjoyed them- from my mates (24ish) to my parents (50-60+) I would recommend to anyone who is in to good music and doesn't want that generic 'pub-singer voice' kinda music.
  
  Function Central provided an excellent service. The forms and contracts were sent promptly and the FAQ page meant that I really knew what the deal was right from the off. Everybody was very friendly, helpful and professional. I couldn't have been happier with the whole thing. Extremely highly recommended!! Thank you so much for making my big day so special!!

• I would like to thank you for all your help in arranging for the band to play at my party on 2nd May 2009. Beverley was extremely quick and efficient in coming back to me with answers to all the queries I had. I would just like to give you some feedback about Columbo. I have nothing but praise for the band, they were the ultimate professionals from start to finish, so friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble for them. They exceeded my expectations as a live band, and everyone said how good they were and they played songs to totally suit the mood (and people) at the party. I can honestly say I don’t think the party would have had the same feel if it had been another band playing and I just wish I could have a party every month just to listen to them again! I would not hesitate in recommending Columbo to others. With kindest regards.

• Hi Mike, we were very happy with Columbo playing at our wedding. Our guests loved them and it was a shame that we only had two hours.

  Anita, Wedding, Hampshire March 2009

• Columbo were absolutely superb at our Schools 70th Anniversary Picnic/Funday. The music was pitched just right and everyone had a good time, old and young. It was great to see all the children up and dancing and as a group, I heard nothing but praise from parents who said how well you engaged the children. Many thanks for a memorable evening of entertainment and we hope to see you at our 80th!

  Nicky, Anniversary Party, Kent, July 2008

• Columbo attended the Baker Tilly sports day evening event and were a tremendous hit. The band arrived on time and took responsibility for setting up all their equipment with no need for further involvement from the events organising team.
  
  It was also really appreciated that the band were willing to help with the awards ceremony music and organised playing certain CD tracks during the ceremony.
  
  The music was great with a real mixture that was enjoyed by all the different age groups attending. Columbo had people up on the dance floor within 10 minutes of playing and kept everyone dancing until midnight. The band played really well and the music was performed excellently.
  
  Eveyone had a great night and we would definitely recommend Columbo for any future events - thanks to everyone in the band!

  Nikki, Corporate Event, Birmingham, August 2008

• Hi, just wanted to say thanks for recommending Columbo for our works do. The band played a great mix of classic party songs and they had everyone dancing.

• Just a quick email to say how polite and professional Columbo were the other night at my daughter’s wedding. From young to old everyone had a great time. Thanks guys!

• Wanted a good time band for our Christmas party and boy did I get one! The on stage chemistry really helped the party swing and it was a fab night. Highly Recommended.
