FAQ

Q: How long does setup take? A: Ideally the band will need 90 minutes to set up and thoroughly soundcheck to ensure the best possible performance. Please ensure that when planning your event, you allow enough time for this, as a decent set up is vital to the band providing you with the best performance possible. Rushed sound checks can mean poor sound, feedback and overlooked issues later on which can ruin the performance all together. Enough time for soundcheck is needed in order to allow the band to focus on delivering a great performance by not having to worry about how they sound out front. Our quote is for a 6pm arrival time, and a set finish time of 11:00pm, but we can also arrive earlier in case the room is only available for set up from 2pm – 4pm for example, and/or we can finish playing later for an additional fee.
Q: What are your space and power requirements? A: Ideally we require a level stage with dimensions of 4.5m in length by 3.5m in depth for the 4-piece setup. The size required will increase for the larger band setup. A stage is necessary for health and safety reasons so that the guests don’t trip over our cables and to avoid our equipment getting damaged if it was at ground level.
Q: Do you take requests? A: Yes, we do! We play your chosen first dance free of charge, and can also take up to two extra requests, provided that they are in style with our sound and genre.

Wedding

We’re absolutely chuffed that we booked Soul in the Belfry for our wedding. The song choices were perfect and they did a beautiful rendition of a Bob Marley song for our first dance. All of our guests commented on how talented they are and how they brought a fantastic end to the evening!

Birthday Party

I had Soul in the Belfry playing at my birthday party. They brought so much happy mood with them, that even the older guests started moving their hips. The band members are an absolute likeable European mixture with a vitalising effect on everyone around. Their interplay felt like a well composed dish and I look forward having more of it! Thanks a lot for your inspiration!
