Reviews. What's been said about Dot's Funk Odyssey DFO, Oxford's big funk and jazz band

Some of the things that have been said about DFO:

"Chants of ‘DFO’ greeted the evening’s final musicians Dot’s Funk Odyssey, who knew exactly what the crowd needed to round of their day: a danceable set of favourites, including an epic samba-aided cover of the Reel 2 Reel classic 'I like to move it'."
- Annie McDermott, Cat Clark and Rich Hardiman, writing about Wadstock 2006 for The Oxford Student,
4 May 2006

"THANK YOU!! It was amazing, you all sounded great - please let the others know we're incredibly grateful and they were brilliant!"
- Rachel Lloyd-Williams, after an Amnesty International fundraising gig, 27 February 2006

"You were incredible at the J-Soc ball last night, we all had a great time and it was all thanks to you! You kept the party going longer than you had agreed, and I would like to thank you for producing some of the finest music I have ever heard at any function."
- Ben Larah, after the Oxford J-Soc Ball, 27 February 2007

"The day was brilliantly brought to a close with seasoned Wadstock performers Dot's Funk Odyssey, joined on stage by always-impressive samba ensemble Breach of the Peace... And, with the soaring harmonies of their unprecedented cover of Gangster's Paradise still ringing in our ears... we make our way home."
- Cat Clark and Annie McDermott, writing about Wadstock 2007 for The Oxford Student, 10 May 2007

"The final act of the evening was Wadham’s own Dot’s Funk Odyssey (DFO), a troupe of singers, guitarists, tambourinists and one random guy who just danced. Their seductively cheesy show finished off a day everyone should put in their diaries for next year."
- Alec Garton-Ash, writing about Wadstock 2006 for The Cherwell, 5 May 2006

"Jolly good fun."
- Alleged words of the Mayor of Oxford as DFO performed before his speech to Oxford City at The Noughtie Message Festival 2006, 29 April 2006

"Dot's funk who? Never heard of them."
- Sadly (for them), still the words of quite a few people.

"Spot's Spunk Oddity?! That's disgusting!"
- A drunken reveler gets our name slightly wrong.
