"The SP - still the biggest and best traditional R&B and
soul band we know about. Dave and the gang guarantee a proper Friday
night of dance ‘till-you drop-drop’ and ‘sing
yourself hoarse’. No band is better, for sheer fun and exhuberance"

"Just got back from honeymoon and wanted to immediately write
to thank you and the boys for such an amazing performance at our
wedding. The SP really made the party happen and got everyone up
dancing. We thoroughly enjoyed both of your sets and every song
was a winner.
All the band are so talented and even though I had seen you guys
gig before I was so impressed by the whole show, you guys offer
more than a gig, it's a production! I was pleased to see barney
and the boys putting some of that dance training I have shown him
to good use with the routines - good stuff! The wedding was full
of people in the entertainment industry, so you had some pretty
clued up people in the audience but every single person had nothing
but praise for Soul Power - you guys rock! I don't know if you noticed
but a lot of us girlies are dancers so they thoroughly enjoyed the
boogy and I got told that The SP was one of the best looking bands
they have seen.
Thank you once again, you really made our Special Day even better.
I have had a few enquiries from friends about booking you so I have
given them the website address and your number, so hopefully you
will get some more gigs out of them. Thank you so much, it was just
perfect."

"Thank you for playing at our wedding. Everyone had a great
time and said that they thought the band were fantastic. You managed
to get everyone dancing from the grannies to my 2 year old son,
who now wants to play the trombone. We're desperately trying to
think of another occasion to celebrate so that we can book you again.
Please pass on our thanks to the other members of the band, especially
your lead singer who really put everything into his performance.
"
