The New Foundations

The New Foundations are a great 6 piece band, and one of the few that recaptures that authentic Motown sound. In 2007, Keith, a drummer with bands such as First Class, The Sweet and Mud, formed The New Foundations. Keith had been friends with The Foundations guitarist Alan Warner and formed the new band to satisfy his craving to get out there and play classic hits of the 60,s, Soul and Tamla Motown music! the New Foundations has seen a few changes of personnel over the years, although the core of four of the members, guitar, sax, drums and keyboards, has remained consistent for the last 6 years which has resulted in a very tight, very professional unit. The Foundations featuring Clem Curtis, Colin Young and Alan Warner enjoyed worldwide recognition with such great classic hits as: Baby Now I've Found You (No 1 in UK) - Build Me Up Buttercup (No 1 in UK) - Back On My Feet Again (No12 in UK) - In The Bad Bad Old Days (Top 20 in UK) Now, The New Foundations recapture their classic sound. The New Foundations have enjoyed success on the major circuits in The UK, Germany and Denmark.

Just recommended the New Foundations to a friend and suggested they read the reviews - however, this showed that my review, that I left in April was not there?!! Not sure how that happened - so will leave another one now! We booked the New Foundations in April for my Birthday Party - fortunately we had the opportunity to see them in rehearsal before the party, so we knew from the start they were great and exactly what we wanted. They are all excellent musicians and Noel the lead vocalist has just the right voice and presence for fronting the band. We had a great night- all ages from 20 somethings to 70 somethings were impressed and all said that the Band made the night! I have just returned from a music festival in the west country ( no not that one) The music was great but those of us who had been to my party said " Shame they couldn't have got the New Foundations along here to play!" Next year lads?

I booked The New Foundations for my fiancee's 50th birthday party. They were amazing! Such a great sound and show. I know at least two different guests who are going to book them for their celebration parties.
