Soul Lotta Funk

Ah! It's been a while... 2018 so far is turning to be a great year! We are now back in full swing on the wedding scene.

Wedding at Cardiff's Museum

Monday 21st August 2017

This weekend was a busy one. We played two weddings, Friday at Cardiff Museum and Saturday at De Courceys Manor. Both were loads of fun but Friday was special! Laura and Joe got married at Cardiff Museum on Friday and they invited us to play at their wedding. Joe wanted to surprise Laura by singing their first dance: Can't Nobody Love You - Solomon Burke. Great tune! So we organised a secret rehearsal with Joe the day before. He came around our rehearsal studio (none of his friends knew about this...) and rehearsed the first dance ready for the big day. It was so much fun! For us, this was the highlight of the wedding. Laura didn't expect it…

Oh What A Night!

Saturday 22nd July 2017

Last Saturday we played for Tobi and Alice on their wedding day. Alice knows Jim our guitar player from work so they trusted us to play some tunes and keep the dancefloor moving on their most special day. Bit of pressure for us there! This wedding was really special as it was the first African wedding we do! Shortly after finishing our soundcheck at Portland House, guests started arriving. Some family members were dressed in tradicional Nigerian clothes. Pictures we took on the night don't really make justice to their colourful dresses. The room was full of colour and smiles. Then the couple entered the room…

A different wedding (June 2017)

Monday 10th July 2017

We had a great time with Rose and Gary! This wedding was so much fun from the planning to the main day. It was also amazing to see an incredible dancing routine on their first dance (which featured a crazy medley from swing to metal to Ed Sheeran!...)... yes it sounds weird but when they started dancing it was jaw-dropping (both of them are pro-dancers). Amazing! From Soul Lotta Funk's team we wish them all the best!
