Featuring a line up of 5 highly experienced musicians and two amazing female singers, Soul Occupants are the ideal band to make any party, wedding or function a night (or day!) to remember, with a steady stream of soul, funk and disco hits from across the decades that will keep the dance floor full throughout the event. We're committed to the highest standards of musicianship, and pride ourselves on faithfully reproducing every song in our repertoire, though sometimes with our own special arrangements and 'mashups' that make our performances distinctive and guarantee a night to remember!

On a recommendation from a good friend , I booked The Band Soul Occupants for my 50th birthday party in Chelmsford. I must say from the point of contact with Jez everything seemed so simple. They kept in contact on a regular basis leading up to the event and I was filled with confidence . My party was a Peaky Blinders theme but due to my age I wanted a good variety of songs etc , I was not disappointed . The female lead singer blew us away with her strong vocals and the band were in true harmony all evening. The last hour of my celebration the roof was truly lifted and 130 guests were all on the dance floor and the band quite deservedly received 3 encores . Thank you guys cannot say thank you enough . A BIG THANK YOU me and my guests have not stopped talking about you guys. I’m sure you will be in high demand , you made my 50th an event to treasure.
