Short Description
SOUL CITY is a 6 piece high-energy party band, delivering an all-night avalanche of classic dance songs from the Motown Soul & Disco eras, blended with more modern dance grooves.
Act Introduction
SOUL CITY is a 6 piece party band, delivering a super-tight, all-night avalanche of classic dance songs from the Motown Soul and Disco Funk eras of the 60s, 70s and early 80s, blended with a good sprinkling of more modern dance grooves. We think the material spans all generations, and is particularly well suited to Wedding and Party gatherings. We're all about getting up, and getting down... Boogie Shoes are obligatory!! We are all experienced professional players - the undoubted stars being our two Female singers who are incredibly gifted performers with a huge sense of fun, and a strong emphasis on engaging with their audience. We are happy to tailor our sets to your requirements, and are happy to play your choice of music playlist through our PA during the off-stage periods. Our quote is all-inclusive: full PA, Stage Lighting, Travel and all other Expenses. We are also fully insured for Public Liability. Please do take a look at or video Showreel, Song List, and verified Testimonials from previous clients.

Testimonials
Here's what our clients have said about us. Dear Chris I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for making our Summer Party such a hugely enjoyable occasion. Your band is superb, not only great musicians but also they are such engaging, fun people! It was a pleasure to have you involved, and I've had so many compliments from my guests which I'm pleased to pass on to you. Your choice of songs was the perfect soundtrack to a wonderful evening - it will live long in the memory! Please do not hesitate to use me as a reference in the future. With thanks and best wishes. Peter Thirlby, Buckingham - Private Party Hi Chris and the band We just wanted to say what a brilliant time we had at Rob’s birthday party. We knew we’d enjoy it when we booked you, having seen you perform before, but you far outweighed our expectations. The atmosphere was fantastic and the choice of songs was perfect for the people attending, as was proven by the non stop dancing all night. We have had several reports of aching hips and sore feet, but not complaints we hasten to add. It was a really great night and Soul City made it truly memorable. All we can say is stand by for a flurry of calls from our friends and relatives! Best wishes - Rob and Lisa Wooster Rob and Lisa Wooster, Bledlow Ridge - Private Party Hey Chris. Wanted to thank the Soul City crew for a fantastic headline set at BLEDFEST. Your set was the perfect end to a fantastic Fest - I think everyone's all-danced-out for a while! Hope we can do it again next year - keep our date in your diary. Cheers - Dave & the BLEDFEST Team. David Saw, Bledlow, Oxfordshire - Event Organiser, BLEDFEST Festival. Dear Chris I cannot thank you and the band enough for a fantastic evening of music and dancing. Everyone loved you!! Great to see so many people on their feet 'busting some moves’ - I really couldn’t have asked for more. I’d be delighted to recommend you - you bring such joy and energy to your music - it’s just a huge pleasure to share in that. Soul City - ‘The Essential Party Ingredient!!’ Cheers - Rachael Taylor Hi Chris Just a quick note to thank you and the SOUL CITY team for your appearances at The Red Lion this year. High quality live music is so important to us, and you are a wonderful addition to our roster of bands. My customers love a chance to let their hair down and have a good old 'Dance on a Saturday Night', and you're the perfect excuse for that! I look forward to putting some dates in the book for the coming year. All my best - Gynnie. Gynnie Underwood - Landlady, The Red Lion, Leighton Buzzard
