We hired the Soul Searchers for my partner's 30th birthday party and they were fantastic. Communication with Tom was great all the way leading up to the party and everyone was super friendly. They were brilliant on the night, and played songs everyone loved and could dance to. Would definitely book them again, thank you so much!

My wife and I had the pleasure of having Jasmine and her amazing band for our wedding. They were incredible. Not only talented musicians , but super professional, courteous and all top people. From day 1 in enquiring about them Jasmine made the process so easy. We were able to chat about day, come up with a set list of classic songs to get the party going and even request our first dance song which was played and performed so beautifully on the night. Jasmine has an incredible voice and the rest of the band are equally as talented, I don’t think I heard one bad note all evening! The guests were dancing all night long. They handled everything including lighting and sound which meant no stress for me on the big day. If you’re needing a band for your wedding, party or function then you can’t go far wrong with booking these guys. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

So glad I booked Soul Searchers for our party, they were absolutely brilliant and everyone loved them. In fact, several people said this was one of the best live bands they had seen for a long time! They were professional, punctual and easy to communicate with. Though they are young, the sound set up was so smooth it seemed like they had done it a million times before.They took time to understand what we were looking for and the set list was perfectly curated, blending the classics with the contemporary. The singer's voice was beautiful and the musicianship of the band exceeded my expectations, even my partner was impressed and he’s something of a musician himself. Thanks again for the wonderful performance, it made the night something special. Highly recommended.

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We'll always aim to make sure the line-up is as you see in our videos. In the case of a band member being unavailable or unwell on a certain date, we have a network of top class professional musicians we call on to fill in. If our singer isn't available, we'll let you know as soon as possible and ensure you're happy with the replacement!

Do you have different line-up options?

Our standard outfit is a 4-piece band with drums, bass, guitar and vocals. We can however be very flexible with the lineup depending on your specific requirements - from a solo singer with backing tracks, all the way to a huge band with keys, backing vocalists and a horn section! Just let us know what your vision is and we can do it!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We will always try to make your day as smooth as possible, we can be flexible with unforeseen timing changes and we understand that sometimes it can't be helped. Just let us know at the earliest opportunity and we can adjust our plans & work something out that works for everyone!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Of course! Whenever we're not playing, we'll make sure to have some music playing through the PA to keep up the atmosphere. If you have a certain playlist or type of music you'd like playing in before and between our sets, you can send it to us on Spotify or Apple Music and we can play that for you.

How much time do you need to set up?

Ideally we'd have at least 1.5 hours to set up and soundcheck before we're due to perform. If the nature or schedule of your event doesn't allow for a long set-up time or thorough sound-check of our PA system, let us know and we can find a solution.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set-lists are curated for your event already, and we create them based on our wealth of past performance experiences to ensure your guests have an amazing time. Of course, if there are songs or genres/styles you particularly like from our repertoire, let us know! We're always happy to discuss options to make sure you're happy.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, we will provide our own PA and basic lighting system and this is included in our standard quotes. If you / your venue already has PA/lights, let us know and we can adjust your quote accordingly, provided their equipment is suitable for us (if you can, find out some more info about what PA system they have and we can work out if it'll work for us).

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We're more than happy to hear your requests - we might know the songs already, in which case we'll add them to the set list as standard. If you have special requests that you'd really love to hear on the night - let us know and we'll see what we can do. If the song isn't in our repertoire, we may need to charge a small additional fee to learn a new song.
