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

Too many to name - Examples would have to include Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Amy Winehouse and Frank Wilson. WE know these songs get people dancing.


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

Soul Federation’s first gig was June 2017 and they have since developed into a successful pub, club, festival, and function band. Playing Soul, Northern Soul, and Blues Brothers classics every gig has resulted in the band being asked back to the venues they have played. Based in Liverpool and Manchester this 10-piece band's variety of ages provide the perfect blend of diverse experience that their audiences appreciate. They added two female singers to support their male lead singer in late 2017. This finalized the line-up of three-piece horn section – trumpet, sax, trombone, keys, percussion, rhythm, and bass guitars. In 2020 industry expert opinion and public votes resulted in Soul Federation being named Wedding Band of The Year North England (Book Entertainment Awards). Individual band members have played in the Middle East, Europe and cruises, as well as appearing on television.

Festivals and lively Weddings are our favourite. However, music venues where there are soul and Blues Brothers fans who love dancing are great too.
