Rating: 9 (12 reviews)

The Soul Cats’ performances combine infectious energy, stage presence and audience interaction and are always guaranteed to get people dancing!

They have a varied song list of danceable soul, Motown and pop covers by the likes of Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Michael Jackson. So as to not leave anyone out, they also include the odd rock song by artists such as Elvis and The Kings of Leon, for good measure!

The band were fantastic, excellent musicians, picked a great set list and put on a wonderful show. Everyone, young and old alike had a great night dancing away! Robert, Wedding, London

The band comprise some of the most in-demand session players on the London scene who have played alongside major touring and recordings artists including Will Young, Noah and the Whale and Incognito. Previous clients include City Hall for The Mayor of London, HSBC Headquarters in Canary Wharf, The Royal Academy of Arts and The British Council in addition to hundreds of private weddings and parties.

The Soul Cats can be booked in varying line-ups of between five and nine musicians, depending on your budget and requirements (see booking options below). We’ve enjoyed working with The Soul Cats for many years now and we feel that they rival bands at double the price!

“Soul Cats were amazing - they were super professional and great performers. They really got our guests moving on the dance floor!”

Siobhan & Toby, Wedding, Loft Studios in London, September 2018

“To all of the Soul Cats band, thank you so much for creating an atmosphere we could only have dreamt of - you really did make our day! All our guests commented on how incredible you all were and lots of people have asked for your details!”

Hannah & Alex, Wedding in Oxfordshire, June 2019

“The band were fantastic, excellent musicians, picked a great set list and put on a wonderful show. Everyone, young and old alike had a great night dancing away, and we got many comments from guests about how great the band were. They also learnt the song we requested as our first dance and performed that very well. They really did cap the end of a perfect day for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. The band were as good as we hoped they would be and we were delighted we picked them, we'll remember dancing away to their music for a long time to come.”

Robert, Wedding in London, June 2018

“The Soul Cats were wonderfully talented and got everyone dancing. They really added to the already special evening!!”

Rebekah, Birthday Party in London, March 2018

“The Soul Cats were amazing. We decided to pay the extra money to have both a male and female singer and it was worth every penny. The female singer was full of energy and got everyone up and dancing. Since the wedding, every one of the guests has commented on how brilliant the band were.”

Sarah, Wedding in Essex, December 2017
