Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We've had incredible experiences connecting with audiences at weddings, private parties, and corporate events. Some of the most memorable moments include performing at iconic venues like the Royal Albert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. Each venue offers a different atmosphere and presents unique opportunities to connect with the audience.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Our musical influences span a wide range of soul legends, from Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder to contemporary artists like Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse. Choosing a single favorite artist is tough, but the undeniable talent and impact of Stevie Wonder make him a constant source of inspiration. As for the greatest song of all time, that's a matter of personal taste, but "Respect" by Aretha Franklin holds a special place in our hearts for its powerful message and timeless appeal.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Soul Generations was born from a shared passion for soul music and a desire to create unforgettable experiences for audiences. Mariam, our lead vocalist, has a Master's degree in Commercial Songwriting and Production and has performed with major artists around the world. Gershom, our male lead vocalist, began his musical journey in church and has graced prestigious stages alongside legendary artists. We started gigging by connecting with clients who appreciate our authentic approach to soul music and our commitment to delivering high-quality performances.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love playing at all kinds of events, but weddings hold a special place in our hearts. The energy and excitement of a wedding celebration create a unique atmosphere, and it's an honor to be a part of such a special day. We also enjoy the challenge of tailoring our setlist to create the perfect soundtrack for each couple's love story.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We'll be on site for a full 7 hours, from 5pm to midnight, ensuring your event has a fantastic soundtrack from start to finish. Ideally, we require 90 minutes for setup and soundcheck, allowing us to create the perfect atmosphere for your guests.

However, we pride ourselves on being flexible and accommodating. If you have any time constraints, we can be ready to go within an hour if a sound engineer is booked as an add on.

Our performance includes two energetic 60-minute live sets usually from around 8pm, guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor. In between sets, we'll keep the party vibe going with carefully curated background music, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes as long as the weather is suitable or if there is a back up option or cover for the band and the equipment.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

The clients can make suggestions for songs from our repertoire, and we always offer a one 'off the menu' request that the band can learn, either as a first dance or to go in the band set.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our clients often praise our professionalism, versatility, and ability to create a fun and engaging atmosphere. They appreciate our attention to detail, our commitment to accommodating their requests, and our ability to read the crowd and keep the dance floor filled. Many have highlighted Mariam's incredible vocals and the band's overall talent and stage presence.
