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.

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!

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!!!

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!!

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!

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! :)

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.

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!
