Music to enhance your special day

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

Any wedding is an emotional occasion: as parents witness their children entering a new phase in life connected through their blessed love, and as partners seal a special lifetime bond and look forward to a loving and secure future. Furthermore, weddings are opportunities for family members from all corners of the globe to reunite in happiness and discuss times past and ties to come. Live bands can complement any wedding reception and make for a memorable evening.

However, the wide choice of live bands can make for a difficult decision and as taste is so subjective, a recommendation does not always ensure quality. The choice is easy with London Soul though, because their international experience, fantastic repertoire and clutch of prestigious awards provide a gold standard seal of quality. London Soul are one of the greatest wedding bands in the business, and have years of experience in picking just the right playlist. If the bride and groom have a favourite song for their first dance, London Soul will make sure that their interpretation is note perfect and soulful.

Then, they will get the party started with a versatile mixture of music from every era and covering every genre. They will make sure older guests are rocking as well as teenagers, and everyone in between. Wedding bands can be hit and miss but London Soul hit the right note every time they perform. Music is the lifeblood of London Soul and they will make your marriage start with a bang, they know how important your special day is.

London Soul are one of the few live bands who seemingly effortlessly manage to strike up a rapport with each and every audience, whether at a family wedding, anniversary celebration or prestigious international event.

They have the punch and personality to excite any crowd and the versatility which ensures that every guest leaves fully satisfied. London Soul are the envy of all function bands because of their immaculate style, powerful and smooth vocals and outstanding musicianship.

Combine these qualities with an innate sense of the soulful and an amazing ability to provoke a profound emotional connection and you have a powerful package which raises London Soul to an elite level, and allows them to keep the dance floor completely packed. Like all the greatest live bands, London Soul always leaves the crowd begging for more and raving about their performance. London Soul – live and direct: from London to the World.

International Soul Sensations

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

London Soul are one of the greatest function bands in the world. Too often, party bands are hastily cobbled together from a group of part time amateur performers. However, London Soul are peerless professionals, who have won awards worldwide for their breathtaking performances of hits from legends such as Otis Redding, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Tom Jones , Robbie Williams and Elvis Presley.

Some party bands also arrive at events only to discover that the PA system is inadequate or faulty and the whole performance is jeopardised before it begins. This will never happen with London Soul, because they have a team of dedicated professionals who can install PA systems, lighting rigs and speaker boxes prior to any event. London Soul have performed all over the globe and although British audiences are always closest to their hearts, they are more than happy to work abroad at corporate events, weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and birthday celebrations, so please do not hesitate to get in touch for a quote.

Great party bands travel well and arrive prepared to rock any time, any place, anywhere, and London Soul love the opportunity to strut their stuff in exotic locations as well as venues all around Great Britain. If you want to try before you buy, then please listen to some of the live audio clips of London Soul performances available on our website. London Soul are firmly rooted in Britain, but thanks to their outstanding performances, have spread their wings worldwide to become international soul sensations.
