The Funktion

FAQs

What areas do you cover?
We mainly play in and around the North of England, but we do travel further afield and are happy to play anywhere within the UK. 

What are your prices?
Prices are calculated on a number of factors including location, set-times, event type etc.

Can you provide a DJ service or background music in between sets?
Yes – included in our price is a ‘free DJ service’. This means that you can use our PA system to play music through in between sets. We have our own playlists or you are welcome to use your own and plug into our system via phone, laptop, tablet or mp3 player.

Is your equipment PAT tested?
Of course! If you are booking us for a wedding you may be asked for proof of this by your venue – if so just let us know and we are happy to liaise with them for you.

Do you hold Public Liability Insurance?
We certainly do, and again this is something that certain venues will ask to see a copy of.

Do you bring all of your own equipment?
Absolutely – we have our own PA system that is powerful enough to handle large halls and theatres. We also bring all of our own stage lighting as well.

What set times do you do?
We typically play two 60 minute sets plus encores, but we can extend this if you want us to play longer. 

I’m getting married what happens on the day?
We are veterans on the wedding scene so we know how stressful the big day can be. From our point of view, we will usually contact you in the weeks leading up just to confirm our arrival time. Every event is slightly different but we typically arrive around 5pm so that we can set up and soundcheck before your guests are in the room. That way we can be set up and out of the way by the time your evening guests arrive. We are very easy going so if things run late on the day or you want to make changes to the running order it’s no problem to us!

How long do you need to set up and soundcheck?
From arriving at the venue we ideally need around 60-90 minutes to load the gear in, set up and soundcheck.

How much space do you need?
Please bear in mind we are a 6 piece band and we do have quite a bit of equipment (including lights, PA and live percussion). We generally would ask for a space of around 6 metres wide by 3 metres deep – most venues are accommodating and this is never really an issue, but if you are concerned please contact us in advance and we can speak to the venue for you.

Can you learn a song for a first dance?
Yes we are happy to do this for you free of charge, providing it fits the style of the band and we are comfortable playing it.
