Live from The Kingscote Barn, Tetbury
Friday 4th August 2017
Last Saturday we travelled to Tetbury to play for James and Laura who got married at the beautiful Kingscote Barn.
This is a converted barn secretly located in a valley within the Cotswold Hills, an area declared of outstanding beauty. Just the drive down the little road to the barn was breathtaking, even with a foul weather. The barn was lit with small candles outside and inside giving it a warm welcoming look.
From the get go we felt really relaxed in there and the couple, James and Laura, took care of us in every moment. Jose met them months prior to the wedding to discuss some details with them and that really helped!
The couple had a 'no social media' policy which we thought it was great. Nobody was allowed to post on social media until the day after. Nowadays we all spend to much time on our phones and sometimes we miss good moments by trying to capture them on our phones. It's like in live concerts where you have members of the crowd looking at the actual concert through their phones. This was great, so on their first dance everyone was paying attention to James and Laura dancing to a beautiful version of Wicked Game (original by Chris Isaak).
The first dance finished followed by the chords of Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. Laura called her dad to the dancefloor... he didn't expected that at all! It was a wonderful moment and everybody joined them. And after that... we started playing, opening with Stevie Wonder's classic: Signed Sealed Delivered.

We would like to thank Richard Boucher, who was covering for Joe on the bass. He brought a GoPro, took this footage and shared it. It will give you an idea of what goes on at a Soul Lotta Funk's wedding from our perspective.
We had a great time playing for James, Laura and all their friends and family. We also saw Carly and Chris who we played for on their wedding at the Rosedew Farm back two years ago. They are now expecting a baby! Congratulations guys! So good to see you :)
We wish James and Laura all the best together! Thank you again for inviting us to play for you, it was a great night.
