The band size is customisable to suit your venue size requirements offering everything from a simple 3-piece line-up for bridal entrance or canapé/drinks reception right up to a unique 15-piece corporate style extravaganza- if you request the string section for that extra glam and wow-factor! The band is owned and managed by events co-ordinator and musician - Elisabeth Chidi, who began her journey as part of a small London-based company promoting major Gospel artists from the USA such as Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary and Fred Hammond, where she learned the art of anticipating the needs of artists, clients and crowds in order to achieve a successful event. Over the years, she continued to hone her expertise and in 2008 was afforded the privilege of supplying the band and being the Tour Manager for the Disco legend Gloria Gaynor on her 30th Anniversary European tour. After 15+ years experience of artistic performance combined with events management, supplying live music entertainment led her to curate the ‘Soulplay Showband’ specifically tailored towards high-end weddings and corporate clientele. “I am an ambitious and result-driven individual who gains immense pleasure in paying close attention to the finer details that general music bands are not concerned with, but in my opinion serve to give YOU the client an exceptional experience...” Get in touch now to discuss your event requirements by clicking on the 'Message' or 'Check availability' buttons!
