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!!

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.
