GG and The Soul Swingers had all of our guests on their feet and dancing all night!! They're an incredibly talented group - GG's vocals are so beautiful - and every song, from our first dance to the last floor filler, was performed perfectly. We also found communicating with GG beforehand very easy - she was very friendly, professional, and accommodating of a few special requests. If you're looking for a band to bring the party, do not hesitate to book GG and the Soul Swingers!!

I'm not sure there are enough words to describe how wonderful GG and her band are! GG's voice is out of this world, and her stage presence, and energetic attitude was an absolute highlight of our wedding! I will always be grateful that we chose her and the band to perform for us, and for the memories she has given us. Without hesitation I would recommend her to anyone looking for a musician. She is simply incredible!!!

We had GG and The Soul Singers play for our wedding and I cannot reiterate how amazing they were. They sang for our wedding ceremony and for our reception drinks and the guests could not stop saying how much they enjoyed the live music and the band’s take on the songs. I would highly recommend hiring them for any event you have in mind and I cannot wait to hire them again in the future! Thank you again for making our day so special xxx

Good Morning Glori/GG! I absolutely love your voice; what a pleasure to listen to!...GG you are an amazing singer! lyrically your words sung are deeply reconciliatory emanating, dancing on air, for the audience listening; so creates a space for dialogue in the heart and opportunities from across the urban landscape of mind and body to rhythmically duet and quite simply talk; and even more importantly, listen to each other and at times come to understand any previously opposing and challenging perspectives bubbling in life; married with a respectful consideration of the legacies of the past....grounded in an unswerving determination to serve the cause of peace, blended with a strong ethical belief in, and commitment to, the core value of respect for the different and shared events in time and space. GG your voice instrumental is immersive, immense and empowering to the listener; becomes internalised, so reprises hope and consideration of forgiveness, evolutionarily to the circumstances of our time. GG it’s clear to me you are a keen observer of human nature; reflected lyrically are pearls philosophical emergent from the exterior societal laced at times stories encased darkened shell, though at times a necessary struggle all the same springs forth from your voice going to the very heart of what matters assonance, this serves to fabricate a renewed alignment and balance in the minds and hearts of those whom are most fortunate, actually privileged to listen to your song. I see similarities in the maturity of your voice; well beyond your years of a gravitas, reminiscent of Barbara Streisands' depth of strength amalgamated with the simultaneous soft, undulating timeless etereral voice of Enya. Well done Glori! I wish unto every success now and for the future! ?

Glori's music has resonance not just in her natural ability to sing powerfully & sensually whenever is required but her emotional investment in her singing evokes a deeply personal connection to her music that does not subside upon repeated listenings such is the timeless appeal of her approach to her creativity she equally demonstrates a warm gratification towards her live audience that further connects/bonds you to her music she has equal rapport/ warmth with her bandmates, her written material/lyrics evoke a deep story laid out that when further espoused by her between songs even further showing the deeper creative thoughts behind her lyrics being more than just song but soulful music with underlying meaning & importance being told, she is a talent that is born from life experience & every ounce of that is poured and expressed and exposed and laid bare in her music for all to see and admire but most importantly hear/learn & feel moved by!

We hired GG and her band for our Black History Month event, and I must say it was more than we expected, very impressed by her professionalism and made our event even more memorable.
She was very engaging leading up to the event and tailor made her song choices to fit in with our event .
Will most certainly use her in the future with upcoming events - my colleagues are still talking about the amazing Gospel Singer - thank you GG.

We hired GG and The Soul Swingers in celebration of Black History Month. They did not disappoint. The music was fantastic, very lively and Gloria is a very talented lady. She has a beautiful voice. I will no doubt be booking them for future events.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding band, Gigi and her band went absolutely above and beyond to make it such a special day for us. Their setlist was perfect, so many of our guests said the band was one of their highlights from the whole day. Can't recommend these guys highly enough basically! Thank you so much ❤️

I cannot thank GG and The Soul Swingers enough for their amazing performance at our wedding. It was such a pleasure working with GG, from our first email exchange to all the way leading up to our wedding. GG is extremely professional, polite and was very responsive to all our emails/phone calls and enquiries. My husband and I were unsure about the run down of the setlist and GG was extremely helpful and advised us on what would work with our preferences, wedding theme and type of guests we'll have at our wedding.
GG and her band were wonderful on the day! We had many guests telling us how great the band was and I would highly recommend GG and The Soul Swingers!

I fell in love with GG's voice the moment I listened to her online and she was immediately the top choice for our wedding. The band were brilliant on the day and we would highly recommend GG and The Soul Swingers for any event, wedding or otherwise. GG is so lovely to work with and we can't thank her and the band enough for being such a special part of our day.

From start to finish, GG was an absolute joy to deal with. GG and her whole band made our night, they are all so talented. Can't recommend them enough. They had everyone on the dance floor and made our event one to remember. Thank you so much.

We had our wedding reception early September and had a 3 piece band with a guitar, saxophone and singer. Gloria and band were amazing. They set the tone so well and our first dance was a success. Gloria was more than happy to provide just a rough guitar track for the song we were going to dance to and that really helped with our practices. The dinner part of our wedding went on a bit late but the band was patient in waiting for us. The music was top notch, the mood and everything was just perfect. All our guests loved them. Had a good time dancing and talking. Would highly recommend them to anyone who's interested! Thanks so much Gloria!

Gloria and her guitarist came to sing at my mothers 70th ... I found Gloria through a recommendation and I was so pleased when she was able to do it . From the first point of contact through emails , she came across so kind and wanting to make sure we had the best music experience with her - and then when you meet her she is the most warm, beautiful smiley person...
the night was a huge success - Gloria’s singing voice is stunning which I knew already and she just sings with such effortlessness ... I highly highly recommend Gloria and hope to see her perform again very soon!
Thank you Gloria for making my mums birthday so special - you literally made the night !!

I have heard GG sing on many occasions and know she is a talented woman so i knew no one else who i wanted to do my wedding.

She was well rehearsed, joyful and all of my guests where blown away by her talent and the musicians were exceptional.

Thank You... highly recommended.

We really can't say enough about GG and the brothers of soul. They were incredible all day and all night. So much talent. They played a mixture of their own repertoire as well as some special personal requests from us; every song was a classic. Personal highlight for me was their epic rendition of Dancing In The Streets. It just kept on going, with the whole band delivering solos. I couldn't stop smiling! GG in particular has a voice no like other. Stunning. And lastly, every single member of the band was just so lovely. The fact they looked like they were enjoying every moment made me and everyone present enjoy it even more. Thank you so much

GG and her guitarist made our night! They came an hour earlier for set up, were proffessional and easy going. Started with mellow songs and in an hour got everybody from kids to 70+ year olds dancing to the funky notes. GG's voice is amazing! She has a lovely aura and able flex her style to the mood of the group. Can't thank enough for this memorable evening.

I asked Gloria to sing at my wedding last November. She was punctual, organised, polite and went above and beyond to help make my day special. Not only did she sing well... There wasn't a dry eye in the room. She has a captivating presence and a beautiful voice. I would recommend her a thousand times.

Well the fact that we have already re-booked Glora speaks for its self. Gloria & her guitarist are both professional and friendly. Gloria's charm and personality is a breath of fresh air. Our guests loved the evening, and how couldn't they listening to the majestic voice of Gloria and her truly talented guitarist.
We would fully recomend Gloria to anyone looking to plan a sepctaulaer event and wow their guests.

I can't thank G.G and her band enough!
Absolutely fantastic. The guests loved them. I would highly recommend. They were early, set up and made the night amazing!

We love these guys, great sound and what a voice, always happy to do requests and get the crowd involved. They’ve performed at Louisas Place and The Oat Hill over the past 3 years and never disappoint. Highly recommended.

YOU SEEN THE VIDEO... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR....? Came across GG and the Brothers of Soul and instantly thought, we need her at our wedding. They know how to get a party pumping. We are massive Motown fans and GG hit all our favourites effortlessly and our guest are still talking about them to this day. They are happy to accommodate any request and with this we had our first dance with the band singing live...you can’t buy memories like this. We know we are going to book them again for another party, we just need an excuse to have a party. Highly recommend them and I am sure you won’t be disappointed. Thanks GG for making our day.

We booked Gloria and Patrick for my mums 60th birthday party in a restaurant. My mum is a huge Motown fan and GG was able to customise her repertoire to sing all of my mums favourites. NOW IF YOU ARE READING THIS DON'T WASTE A SECOND LONGER AND BOOK THESE GUYS!!! GG has a stunning voice and I truly believe could sing absolutely anything, on top of this she is super friendly and a stunning performer. Patrick’s guitar skills just add to the magic of this performance and gives it that extra authenticity which makes this so much more than a singer singing to a backing track! We had the best night ever and more importantly so did my beautiful mum,she cried her eyes out and GG made sure to make my mum feel extra special - AMAZING!!! And by the way - way under-priced for what we saw! BOOK THEM!! Don’t waste time looking around!

Gloria and Patrick were absolutely amazing at our weekly live music night. I had heard great things online, but nothing prepared us for just how great they actually are!
Gloria's voice is incredible and Patrick's guitar skills meant the duo went down an absolute storm! They will definitely be a resident act at The Shurlock Inn AND at our sister pub The Plough from now on! 10 out of 10!

What can I say about GG & The Brothers of Soul? They were remarkable! From the minute they arrived, the group were so polite and greeting to all, making us full of awe before their performance. As soon as they started started, chairs starting to empty and the floor got full of guests ready to party! They played a number of old school classics, from many genres and had everyone singing along! You guys are so super talented! The Brothers of Soul were amazing and played so well! GG is an extraordinary singer and a warmhearted soul! 10/10! Please book these guys as they will not disappoint! X

Gloria is such a pleasure to work with and an extremely talented individual. We recently collaborated on a web series called Classified Freaks where Gloria's vocals and singing talent were used to create the theme tune for our superhero show. I would highly recommend anyone to hire the services of Gloria's talent as she is lovely to work with and has a mesmerizing singing voice to go with it :)

Mike and Carla (Engagement Party) 14 Apr 2017
10/10

Wow!

Book her now! Lol :)

Go no further. You need not look for another band. We booked Gloria and guitarist Michael to come and perform at out Engagement party and we had no idea we were booking a star!

The beautiful tone and amazing range of Glorias voice and is astounding. Her ability to perform slow, jazzy, soulful songs with a delicate yet captivating ease; or indeed, melt your heart with a romantic classic love song; her ability to channel all that skill, power and love into every note of the more robust and funky songs; and her skillful selection of a perfect and meaningful set list; are only surpassed by her warm, fun and funky, genuinely committed and professional personality.

We literally couldn't have asked for more. She was an excellent choice and the star of our party. We were so happy and she is lovely.

Thank you again so much!!!! :) xx

GG is an outstanding performer, energetic, passionate and soulful with a wonderful voice, our guests really enjoyed her smooth blend of Motown and rnb classics and we can't wait to have her back again! Very punctual, reliable , offered a set list to us but we gave a rough brief of the vibe we wanted and left it to GG who totally wowed with her selection of songs and couldn't do enough to make sure we were happy - Thanks Gloria - a true artist.

Romy Newman (A Brands Ltd) 27 Mar 2017

They say all good things come in small packages, and none of it could be truer than in the from of Gloria herself. This artist, with a voice beyond her years, has the ability to adapt to any crowd keeping them enthralled and embody a character with her acting ability and stage presence. She is an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish, and we all can't wait to work with her again.

“I have worked with Gloria (GG) on many occasions where she has either performed solo or with her musical colleagues and she really is an absolute delight to work with as well as being a supremely talented singer.”

We booked GG to perform at our party to celebrate getting married and what a delight! "GG has an amazing voice and is a real pleasure to listen to. GG has a really versatile voice and performed some classic numbers to which she brought her own magic and warmth. GG captured the atmosphere perfectly and the music was fantastic. Thank you GG for a superb performance and for helping to make our celebration really special. Julie & Richard.

“GG is a talented and committed live performer. She has a unique gift as a singer to express the lyrics of a songwriter and convey passion, power and beauty. As a person she is a pleasure to work with being professional, straightforward, hardworking and always as a smile on her face. I would recommend her for any professional music or creative projects that come her way.”

Salsarah (Co-Ordinator at London Lights Church and London Lights TV) 30 Jan 2017

I met Gloria when she first joined us for worship at London Lights Church. Gloria impressed me greatly at the way she connected with the music and lyrics and encouraged the congregation to praise God in song.

We at London Lights Church launched 'Sunday Night Live' last month. It's a LIVE music event with a twist of faith. Gloria was one of the performers at this memorable evening. She really engaged with the audience and did this by asking everyone to choose her second song out of two options. This I could tell made an impression on them.Gloria certainly has stage presence,and from their reaction to her performance, moved audience members to connect with her afterwards.

She is a very inspirational singer that people love get to know. Gloria is a joy to have and a real asset to a worship team and LIVE event. I'd be happy to have her join us at London Lights Church as well as 'Sunday Night Live' anytime.

Ed Stagg (BBC Leicester Radio Presenter) 30 Jan 2017

Gloria is a joyous performer. To work with, she is an easy-going performer who fits any format and venue. And when she sings, her laid back vibe belies a talent that runs deep and strong. You will believe every word.
