45RPM

Presented in STEREOPHONIC sOund

The  Band    The  Soul   Jam  is  a  15  piece   fully   live  show  band  featuring  three  vocalists,  a   =ive  piece  rhythm  section  and  a  seven  piece  horn  section.      This  lineup  makes  The  Soul  Jam  one  of  very  few  bands  that  can  accurately  replicate  the  original  sounds  of  Soul,  Motown  and  the  classic  R’n’B  hits  from  the  60’s  &  70’s.    The  Soul  Jam  is  not  just  a  band,  it’s  a  show  that  recreates  classic  moments  from  =ilms  like   The   Blues   Brothers   and   The   Commitments,   as   well   as   classic   tracks   from   James  Brown,   Ike   &   Tina   Turner,   Al   Green,   Otis   Redding   plus   many   more.     Foot   stomping  rhythms   combined   with   soaring   saxophones,   searing   trumpets   and   powerful   soul-­‐=illed  vocals  make  The  Soul  Jam  is  an  act  that  will  transform  any  function  in  to  a  truly  memorable  occasion.    Available   to   book   for   corporate   functions,   weddings   and   events,   The   Soul   Jam   is   a  group  of  professional  working  musicians  with  a  reputation  for  delivering  high  quality  musical  entertainment.      

DebRA  Gala  Ball,  The  Palace  Hotel,  Manchester,  October  2011  

The  Soul  Jam  were  the  choice  of  UK  charity  DebRA  for  their  annual  North-­‐West  gala  dinner.    Held  in  the  sumptuous  surroundings  of  the  grand  ballroom  at  The  Palace  Hotel,  Manchester,  the  band  performed  a  full  90  minute  show  that  also  featured  a  special  arrangement  of  the  James  Bond  theme,  in  keeping  with  the  Hollywood  themed  evening.    The  band  also  performed  with  the  evening’s  celebrity  guest,  Emmerdale  actress  Natalie  Anderson.  

“The  Soul  Jam  were  the  best  band  that  we  have  had  at  our  annual  ball  in  Manchester  for  the  Charity  DEBRA.  They  are  totally  professional  and  the  sound  is  fantastic,  in  fact  this  is  the  =irst  time  in  six  years  that  the  dance  =loor  has  been  full  at  the  end  of  the  evening.    Thanks  for  making  it  a  great  night  and  I  will  be  sure  to  book  you  for  next  year’s  function,  maybe  even  two!!”

Technical  stuff    Due   to   the   lineup   of   the   band   and   the   complexities   of   mixing   so   many   different  instruments,  The  Soul  Jam  generally  prefer  the  event  organiser  to  secure  the  services  of  an  audio  company  to  provide  the  sound  system  and  related  equipment.    We  have  a  full   technical   document   which   can   be   supplied   to   audio   companies,   providing   them  with   all   the   information   that   they   need   to   do   their   job   effectively.     Most   event  organisers  will  have  audio  companies  that  they  use  regularly,  but  if  not  we  are  happy  to  put  you  in  touch  with  suppliers  that  we  have  previously  worked  with.      Working  this  way  ensures  that  you,  the  organiser,  will  have  an  audio  system  that  is  suitable  for  both  the  band  and  the  venue,  in  turn  giving  the  best  audience  experience  possible.    With   a   mixture   of   male   and   female   members,   the   band   also   require   somewhere   to  change  in  advance  of  the  show.    We  don’t  request  white  sofa’s,  =luffy  kittens  or  goat’s  milk   bath’s,   but   do   ask   that   it’s   somewhere   clean,   comfortable   and   suitable   for   15  people!
