"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"
The Boat Race – venue

"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."
Louise & Nick Sewell

"Firstly, a massive thank you to you and your team for a fantastic job on Saturday. The evening was a great success, lots people have told me how much they enjoyed the band. And as I said at the time, the whole lighting and sound set-up was superb - a massive step-up from our previous events; really slick and professional."
C Turner

"You guys were so so so great! We had such a fabulous day and the band really were amazing. Off on honeymoon now but wanted to quickly say such a big thank you. We had so many compliments about the band - a couple of people want to book them so have passed on your details. The groove was real and we loved it - I danced so much. Thank all the boys they were fab."
Nick & Louise


"Just to say thank you to all the band members for their professional performance on and off stage. Contact you soon regarding future bookings."
John HSCP

"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. "
Kate & George, wedding
