Motown to Soul "You were all great thank you for putting on a great show!!" Based in Swindon, England (28 miles from Bath) Rebecca - wedding

Big Mac’s Wholly Soul Band "Big Mac’s Wholly Soul Band The Stage said ; 'An explosive start to the evening was provided by Big Mac's Wholly Soul Band. This is the way to play soul and Motown-a full ten piece band, great brass section, girl backing singers, pulsating rhythm section and Big Mac himself on lead vocals-not only great musicianship but also a great performance. I am not surprised that it is one of the most popular outfits in South Wales, as it was absolutely superb. If you book corporate functions or summer balls and want a great dance band, you could do a lot worse. This is a truly hot band.'" Based in Newport, Wales (31 miles from Bath) THE STAGE - SHOWCASE
