Catherine Harrison27 Sep 2026

Booked for Wedding

The Bees Knees certainly lived up to their name. Awesome band and genuinely lovely people. So accommodating and happy to take requests for songs. Made our wedding a joyful and lively event and got us all dancing away. Great choice of songs covering a wide range of genres and decades. Highly recommend.

Booked for Celebration

Rami and Lisa were perfect for our garden hog roast party. It was the perfect tempo, sound and vibe. We had pop hits and classics and they even learnt some Taylor Swift (for my Missus who is a Swifty). We had multi generations at our party and everyone got into it. Also. It was the perfect volume - no police were called for irritating the neighbourhood peace :) Don't hesitate to hire them for your next party

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!
