The Pirates of Soul played our village summer carnival and the crowd loved them. They're a band filled with great musicians - a real soul/rhythm and blues big band, the likes of which is hard to find. They're professional, really look the part and bring the party to you!

As a semi professional musician, I can tell a good band when I see one playing live. The Pirates of Soul are a really, really good band. The four piece brass section, plus soul diva vocalist Nina really impress! They packed out our local club for a charity show, held a packed dance floor for both sets and raised over £1200 for a local homelessness charity.
