Review Centre: Soul Bands

"We booked Groove Allstars to play at our wedding last month. They were absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our whole day! They made our first dance feel very special and it really set the tone for the rest of the night - it really felt like a proper party. The band are very slick and professional (with excellent sound mixing) and the booking/liaising process was very easy. When we've spoken to our guests since the wedding, everyone has commented on how brilliant Groove Allstars were. A huge thank you!

"This has to be the best band and singers we have ever had on in 15 years of me running Chapel. They were stunning and lovely guys too. They arrived three hours early due to doing a gig in Bristol the night before, so my sound tech, who they rang, came all the way in so they could drop off their kit and spend sometime in the green room having lunch and a beer. Invoices are paid out on a Wednesday of each week. Jan image Centre Manager & Director of Programming Chapel Arts Centre Ltd St. James's Memorial Hall Lower Borough Walls Bath BA1 1QR"

"A huge thank you from Lilly and I for our wedding night’s performance on the 17th at Lumley Castle. We’ve just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to personally say thank you from both of us. Everyone had a ball and enjoyed the night, much of which was down to you."

"An amazing night. Truly superb musicians; they were tight and funky and Elaine’s voice was right on it! And all so lovely and humble. One has to go to London to catch that kind of performance and we had it here at home. No travelling, no entry fee. Quite amazing really. Harpreet Singh April 2023"

"We booked Funk it Up! for our wedding this summer & can not tell you how blown away we were by them. They were ALL absolute stars & Funk it Up! was easily the best part of our day - they brought 100% party vibes! They were an incredibly tight band; every member was an excellent musician & having been a bit of a fusspot about music building up to the day, I could not have been more chuffed. The dance floor was always packed out & the setlist did not let up! I lost count of the number of people who said to us afterwards how brilliant Funk it Up! had been, with the singer Ginger getting top marks from everybody for her showmanship and 10/10 bringing of the party throughout the set! If you want a proper old-school 70s/80s funk and soul band for your wedding or function, without the modern cliched Bruno Mars / Uptown Funk type stuff, then Funk it Up! is the band for you! Ginger was super helpful and communicative in the lead-up - she was able to add a trumpet player to the band's lineup to fill out the sound for us on the night & even kindly offered us the use of the band's PA for an hour at the end of the night after they'd finished playing. Do yourself a favour and book Funk it Up! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and you will NOT regret it."

"We had Andy provide the music and performance for my mum and dads anniversary party at a local village hall. He was simply sensational. My parents loved him and he was able to sing such a variety of songs. He wasn’t just run of the mill, he was a performer and his voice is incredible. He was flexible and kind and made the whole evening go without a hitch. Cannot recommend this man more for your next event!"

"Big thanks to Rox & The Roots for putting on such a fantastic show at the Greyhound of the Year Awards. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we’ve never seen the dance floor fill up that quickly before! I’ve heard so many great responses from the gig and we’ve already been asked about a repeat performance from the band next year! We’ll look forward to hopefully welcoming you back for our next bash!"

If anyone out there is in two minds about booking Junction 2, take it from me - book them We just want to say thank you to each and everyone of you, the music and entertainment was incredible better than we could have hoped for. Thank you once again! (14th August 2009) "

"The true gauge of their colossal talent is measured by me by the fact that having known my husband Luke for 20 plus years, last Saturday was the first time he wanted to dance with me ever - and he was driving, so it can only have been the music."

"I’ve seen All Night Long a few times now and they never fail to deliver. excellent musicians and a super lead singer, working really well together playing classic crowd pleasers from the 70s to present day. Highly recommended, especially if you want to get people up and dancing!"

"The band totally exceeded our expectations. They played great tunes that got all our guests dancing which is what we wanted. Also, sorting out the business side of things was straightforward and hassle free. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family for any events they are planning.
