Booked for Wedding

We cannot recommend The Soul Department enough, they were amazing. All of our guests said they were the best wedding band they had ever seen and everyone had an absolute blast, they really got the party going. From booking to arrival, The Soul Department were really easy to deal with, responsive and clear, and put us at ease. I would highly recommend booking this band!

Booked for Birthday party

When I went looking for a band for my husband's 60th Birthday party I didn't have a clue where to start. I discovered Poptop and searched through the bands available for the date. What helped me choose The Wonder Whys was their demo and the reviews they had on the site. It is always a leap in the dark when choosing a band for a one off event but I need not have worried. Contact via phone and email directly with the band prior to the party was friendly, timely and informative. I cannot praise the band highly enough, they obviously enjoy performing and their enthusiasm is infectious, their music was exactly what I wanted. Ours was a small event with a range of ages, but they got people up and dancing and the made the party complete. They have a fabulous sound, are lovely people and I cannot thank them enough for making the party perfect, would highly recommend. Husband was delighted and family and friends impressed.

I booked the band for my 50th birthday party and they didn’t disappoint. From start to finish they were fantastic. Both Jo and Malachi on lead vocals were fantastic, supported by great musicians. I would highly recommend this band if you are looking to make your night extra special.
