Happy New Year Everyone! Are you ready for 2017?


















Fantastic ending to 2016. Thanks guys, we wish you all the best for this 2017!

If I was asked why are you in a wedding band, this feedback would be the best answer I could give. Being part of someone else's most special day is incredibly satisfying. Normally parties are made of  people, music and food (well... and alcohol!) so when couples trust us to play at their weddings it is a great honour but also a great responsibility.

From here I would like to thank all the couples we partied with during 2016 and previous years. Thanks to you all we have become a much more professional act, we have moved forward, gained new skills and established ourselves within South Wales' Wedding Market.

I would also like to thank all the couples that have booked us for 2017 and 2018. We can't wait to meet you all and be part of your wedding day! Also our most sincere gratitude to all our Corporate clients.


Soul Lotta Funk are a team. We have been going on for a bit more than 3 years now and we still have a long path ahead us. Personally, I am so proud of sharing this adventure with Jamie, Nicky, Joe, Sarah and Django. Thank you for being such a talented buch, it's a pleasure to share stage with you  gig after gig. Also thanks to our soundtechs, deps, families and friends. You all are part of the Soul Lotta Family.


We are so ready for 2017. Bring it on!


All the best,


Jose and all the team at Soul Lotta Funk

Just before Christmas..... new promo video!

Hi everyone,

This year Santa comes with... A NEW PROMO VIDEO!

This time we have decided to showcase another aspect of the band. A lot of couples ask us to learn a very special song for them and perform it live for their first dance. It is always such a special moment and for us it's a great honour because it means they trust us to cover their most loved song. ''She'' by Elvis Costello, ''Better Together'' by Jack Johnson or ''L.O.V.E.'' by Nat King Cole are some of the first dances we've performed for our couples.

We also offer an Acoustic Package so your guests are entertained with live background music (voice and piano) between the wedding ceremony and the wedding breakfast/dinner. Even during the ceremony!


So that's what we wanted to capture in our new promo and by the looks of it.... we think we have achieved it. The video was filmed and produced by James Fisher from 88 Wedding Films: http://88-films.co.uk


James is such a professional. Everything... approaching him with a bunch of ideas, shaping them, discussing lights, filming, details, feedback.. he takes care of everything and we think that shows up in the video. With his camera he captured magical moments like the one below. We can't wait to show you all!


Promo video 2016/2017 

















We would like to express our most sincere gratitude to Simon and Kate from The Belle Adventure (https://www.facebook.com/TheBelleAdventure/). They are an acoustic duo based in Bristol that performs jazz, blues and country music. We have seen them live and they are soooo good!  Back a couple of months when we were planning the video, we were thinking on featuring a couple ... so imagine our surprise when we learnt that they just got married!!! So they came along and they totally owned it. It's not only that both of them are incredibly good looking, it's also that they have charm, charisma, class.. and they are the nicest people you can work with. Thanks guys!

Finally special thanks to David Ozkoidi https://www.facebook.com/david.ozkoidi our light technician for the day and to Acapela Studios http://acapela.co.uk.

Only a couple of days to release it!

Catching up!

Hi everyone,

Back to the blog world!  We have been very busy in Soul Lotta Funk. Our first milestone was the release of our band's main promo video and new website:

Filmed at Rosedew Farm http://www.farmersbarns.co.uk by Simon Huntley from Santori Films http://www.santorifilms.com, this video has helped us to grow as a business and showcase what we can do to all our potential clients. Since its release we have secured more bookings than ever both in the wedding and the corporate market.


We have had some fantastic gigs since then. So many couples have partied with us in this 2016 and we are looking forward to party with all of you that have booked us for 2017. Can't wait!


We want to thank all of you for choosing us to be part of such a special day of your lives. You guys have helped us to become a polished and professional act! Thank you!
