Testimonials

This band really are exceptionally good. They played at our wedding in April this year and their set was complete class. Our guests kept coming up to us and telling us how good the band were and asking where we'd found them. Eric's powerful vocals mixed with the rest of the bands musical ability will get everyone up and dancing. Also, despite their obvious talent, all of them are still very down to earth and can give some really useful input into making any aspect of a musical event work. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Paul & Helen Brewster


Hi Jack & the rest of you amazing Soul Strutters, Please accept my apologies for the delay in thanking you guys for putting on a top notch set at our festival-themed wedding on Saturday 3rd May!

Having witnessed your awesomeness live in Plantation at a friend's hen do several months before, I knew that you guys would be perfect for getting everyone up and dancing; and you really delivered! In fact, we had to cancel our other band in your place (we were that convinced) and we don't regret it!

Well, we danced and sang our hearts out from start to finish, and I'm still receiving comments about the singer's amazing vocals six weeks on. I've attached some photos of the happiness you brought to WedFest (must have been a bit of a slow jam as there's a lot of love in those snaps, possibly "Let's Get it On"!). We really enjoyed your performance, so thank you for coming all the way down to South Devon.

We will definitely catch you guys playing again some time soon around Bristol, and would recommend you to anyone looking for a professional and brilliant funk and soul band. All the Best,
Jess & Jon Brookes

When the Soul Strutters first played here at Café Rene they blew us away! From the first song to the last the whole pub was dancing, singing and begging for more! They play their songs with so much passion and energy that it resonates through the whole crowd, and it’s why we have booked them more than once. True crowd pleasers with a performance that will bring people together and transform any venues atmosphere into one BIG party! Cafe Rene

Booked these lads for our wedding after seeing them in town. I knew we wouldn't be disappointed, as they know how to bring the funk to the table and then beat the hell out of it! We could have gone for the usual wedding band that takes a chart classic and sings it back as you've heard it 257 times before! NOT AT MY WEDDING! Kicking it off with our first dance of Jackie Wilson - Higher and Higher, it was clear it was going to be a good night, as a load of the guests joined us on the dance floor. Eric's voice is immense and a few women said some unrepeatable things to me about their appreciation of his presence! Jack tore up the keyboard and battered it into submission with his insane ad libs. The other guys were as tight as you can get too! The volume was just right. People weren't blasted out of their seats, but the bass was there. AND I have to say the mash ups they performed were awesome!

All we've had since the wedding is positive comments about the Soul Strutters. If you want a wishy washy band with no individuality don't come here. If you want soul, blues and funk performed with feeling by a band who want to make tracks their own, book now before you can't afford them!

Thanks guys. You were a big part of an amazing day.

The Soul Strutter's absolutely rocked our wedding. Literally everybody danced. And for hours! I can't imagine a better band to blow the top off a marquee.

Thanks very much to the Soul Strutters for headlining at YeastFest 2014. Our international crowd of guests and employees were blown away by their soulful awesomness. They are a very professional band to work with, have a great repertoire, and we'd definitely hire them again. Highly recommended.

The first time The Soul Strutters played at ours, they blew everyone away with such a high-octane night of some of THE best soul and funk we've ever seen or heard. Everyone had such a fantastic night and since then The Soul Strutters have become a firm favourite at The Blue Lagoon Cafe Bar. You must check these guys out - the talent between them all is too amazing for words! Individually they are some of THE most talented in town, but together? Man they ignite!!! Blue Lagoon

We booked The Soul Strutters for our wedding this year and were completely blown away by them! Great professionals from start to finish, Jack and James even provided the music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. They have an amazing back catalogue of songs and offer creative interpretations of classic songs in their own unique style. The dance floor was packed all night long, you guys absolutely smashed it!! Joe & Marion English

The Soul Strutters played at my daughters wedding at the Masonic Hall, Newport on September 12th, 2014. What a great set they played. I recommend them to anybody who wants a great night out! It’s a shame they are based in Bristol. Thanks very much for making the night special. Hope you play in Newport again soon and hope to be able to come and see you. Everyone at the wedding through you were brill and made the night. Thanks again! Dave Thomas (Father of the Bride)

After having seen The Soul Strutters on the Bristol pub circuit regularly entertaining large numbers, we were keen for them to play at out wedding! Having met James and the rest of the band we found them to be positive and happy to please, as a result we booked them for our wedding. They did not disappoint, they had so much energy and obviously were very passionate about what they did - they adapted to all audiences and made out wedding reception one the remember! Thank you so much you Soul Strutters! :) Dan and Rebecca

I operate an events business and over the years have worked alongside many bands at various corporate functions, parties & weddings. Jack, James, Eric & Barney are all very talented musicians who are passionate about performing and entertaining, from slow soul classics to dance-floor fillers. Professional, reliable, good at what they do and really nice people to deal with, I have no hesitation in recommending Soul Strutters for an event. Bespoke Events

After watching you guys at a friends wedding back in the summer my fiancée and I were really excited at the prospect of booking you for our wedding. We had such a great time dancing and singing with you guys that it just had to be done. Also our venue only allowed 4 piece bands, which are really hard to find!! When we contacted you about the booking we only had 2 and a half months until our wedding and we were keeping absolutely everything crossed that you would be available. You were!!

I bombarded you with questions over the next couple of weeks regarding the possibility of hiring your equipment after your set so that we could keep the party going and you gave us so many different options and were fantastic at accommodating us. We ended up hiring you for the whole evening - the best decision.

Soul Strutters put the groove into our Village Fete festivities! We had a 300+ crowd & the band quickly got everyone on the dance floor where they stayed till gone midnight. Playing a genius mix of funk & soul the band created the perfect atmosphere for an outdoor summer country gig. The band all turned up on time, with all their kit & played to the crowd with enthusiasm & a real sense they were enjoying themselves!

We'd thoroughly recommend them whatever your event!
