The musicians in the band are some of the most experienced on the function circuit: their guitarist has touring, recording and producing credits ranging from Belinda Carlisle to Motörhead and has produced Russian pop bands, whilst their drummer regularly graces the most prestigious venues in the world with bands such as Blondie and Toto.
From our soft-rock first dance to the stadium anthems they belted out at the end of the set, their covers were indistinguishable from the real versions! Sam, Wedding, Winchester

Steve & Hayley, Wedding, Stratton Court Barn in Oxfordshire, June 2018
“Really awesome band nice and easy to talk to. Set list was on point. Even played the acoustic set out in the gardens in the sun. PERFECT!!!”
Nathan, Wedding at The Lodge in Hungerford, June 2018
“This was the first time I had arranged this kind of personal event, as opposed to a business event where I always had support staff that did the hard stuff. So it was great that Function Central were so communicative throughout. Then when, near to the date, contact was made with the group that also worked exceptionally well. The result being that leading up to the day, when you normally start getting nervous, I was totally confident that, barring some unforeseeable disaster, it would all go well. And it did. The guys were superb. One guest was a music teacher who specializes in the guitar and rated them not just good but with a tremendous versatility. From my perspective the lead singer has a great voice and some of his guitar work quite stunning - and the feedback from our guests was very positive. If the occasion arises I'd book them again in a flash.”
