"It was a tough gig - most of the people at my party were in the entertaiment industry so an average band wouldn't do.
Defunct were amazing so professional, so dedicated and adaptable. Nothing was too much trouble and in a room of harsh critics they so impressed everyone I'm scared they will never be free to play for me again as they will be booked up constanly.
Alive Network also did a great job and Graham was extremly helpful in booking the band.

"Hi Paul
Thank you for your email. The event seems to have been a huge success, but there's a few very tired people here at the moment! The band were great, thank you for suggesting them - they were very professional. We may be looking for a similar band for an event in March.
Thanks

"Hi Dan
We are now back from honeymoon, and would like to say thank you so much for the fantastic performance at our wedding in Maidstone.
Music is something Nancy and I have a passion for, so it was great to have so many guests commenting on how good DeFunct were.
The playlist hit the note for everyone, and the quality of the performances from each of the band were brilliant. You really got the party going.
Thanks again, I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends.

"Hi Graham,
May I say that both ALAN the DJ and DEFUNCT were a great success and even though I did not have too much to do with them on the night, as I had handed them over to the event organiser (Rupert Durrant) the feed back from all concerned was very positive and complimentary.
The dance floor was almost always full to bursting on both the DJ and Band sets, and the next day many people came up to me and thanked me for sorting out the music entertainment for the evening.
I believe Alan played on 'til the early hours of the morning, so good on him, and the band were a great bunch and performed very well with both singers having fab voices.
I hope they all enjoyed the evening too, and would you please pass this email on to both parties concerned and send them my thanks.
Thank you Graham/Gemma for all your help, and I know should the event arise, I will be in touch again.
Regards,
Sandra"
