We booked The Soul Federation for our wedding after seeing them play in live in Liverpool - what a band. They were amazing from the moment of booking. Richard is professional, responsive and happy to help at every turn. The band themselves are incredible, I literally can’t recommend them more highly if I tried. Our dance floor was packed from the moment they started all the way to the end of the night (with most people chanting for ‘one more tune’!) If you need a band for any occasion book The Soul Federation, you won’t regret it
