I originally were looking at another band as my present for my dad's 80th but as soon as I saw Soul75's YouTube videos I knew they would make the event, and boy was I right!! It was a big celebration at 150 people and we are still getting comments about it, mainly about the band. Soul75 have a fantastic set list to choose from and me and my parents chose almost every song they suggested. We wanted quite a bit of reggae as my dad is Jamaican so they really can do it all. Their set was tight, and you could tell they all worked hard to ensure it stayed that way. From the drummer, to bass, to guitar and the incredible vocalist, everything was spot on. Our guests felt like they were at a gig 😂 people were dancing and singing along. They even accommodated me singing a song for my dad. Simply put, if you are hesitating between bands, you will not be disappointed. Booking through Encore was super simple and Richard stayed in good contact up to the night of our event. Thank you so much guys, you really are a special band and my dad LOVED it.

We hired Soul 75 for our mum and dad's 40th anniversary, and they exceeded our expectations. Great vibe, and kept us on the dance floor all night. They also learnt a song specifically for my parents and that was really appreciated. Would recommend!!

I can't thank Soul75 enough! They made our wedding day so special and memorable. From the day I booked Soul75, Richard was frequently in touch and very attentive to our needs. Their incredible talent and entertaining way of interacting with guests meant we had a crowded dancefloor from start to finish! It was lovely seeing some of our usually more reluctant dancers up on the floor having a great time. The band members were very friendly and happily chatted with guests during the break. We had so many wonderful comments from our guests - some were even emailing enquiries to them during the intermission! Can't recommend enough!
