We booked The Soul Band to play at the evening reception for our wedding, having seen them play a number of times previously. Before the event, the band gave us the opportunity to request songs that they might not normally play, but we were happy to go with their judgement, as it always works. As always, they were fantastic! The mix of classic Motown hits and modern songs went down an absolute treat with our guests, and many commented to us that they had never seen a wedding where the dance floor was so full and the chairs so empty!!! I can’t recommend this band strongly enough! They sound (and look) the part, and are friendly and get the audience involved as well. Get them booked, as we want to see them again somewhere soon!

Our event was a 1920’s themed fundraiser hosted at Turf Moor, Burnley on Friday June 26th. We welcomed over 400 guests and the icing on the cake without a doubt was the music and entertainment provided by the band ‘The Soul Bandits’. We wanted only the best on the night and so I asked around and these guys came highly recommended from a couple of different sources. Their attitude and service prior to the night was second to none – they were excited to be a part of the event and professional in asking us what we expected in terms of set times and involvement. They were dressed for the occasion and arrived on time, looked the part and totally stole the show. I’d have to say one of the most impressive things about this band is the number of them and the visual impact that had on the venue. Each with their own talent and instruments, they totally brought the room to life and impressed the room with their set from start to finish. After the gambling was over, everyone was up on their feet and there wasn’t an inch of dance floor space left. They performed a wide range of songs that everybody loved, laughed and sang along to. As organisers of the event, we even got involved on stage! They performed an extra couple of soul songs beyond the time they were due to finish much to the delight of the audience and I have been asked countless times from a number of different guests who the band were and how they can be booked. If another event is hosted next year, The Soul Band will be the first booking I make, without a doubt. “

The Soul Band were a “shot in the dark” for Barrica Wines at our annual event last year, but they were so well received we have booked them again this year – unheard of! You can’t help but get up and dance when they perform – their music is so infectious, they should come with a health warning!”
