Band replied:
Hi Grace thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Best wishes!
Fatimah and the whole band are first-class musicians who made our wedding dance floor one that will go down in history. The musicianship from her, the guitarist and saxophonist in particular was exceptional. She was kind and accommodating with all our track requests, and her setlist is an awesome mix of old skool RnB, blues, soul, funk + disco. You will not find better. Thank you again!

Soul Drive are absolutely brilliant! Fatimah has a phenomenal voice and the rest of the band are super talented too. All our guests commented on how brilliant they were and how much they enjoyed the music during our ceremony and after dinner. Couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding celebrations! Thank you xx

Thank you so much for this fantastic review and for sharing your special day with us. Best wishes for everything!!!
Soul Drive were a fantastic and professional group to work with. They played at our small wedding reception and travelled to a private residence. They coordinated in advance and were organised with their set up to make everything easy for us. Fatima has an incredible voice and range, and the rest of the band were amazing musicians to accompany her. Their list was varied and fun; we are so pleased they were able to be a part of our special day!

Hanno animato la serata, facendo ballare tutti, dai più giovani ai più grandi, spaziando in tutti i generi musicali. Coinvolgenti e carichi, ci hanno accompagnato in ogni fase della serata, dall'arrivo al dopo cena con musica dal vivo e dj set. Non potevamo scegliere un gruppo migliore!
February 2025
They were so friendly and the communication before the day was great. On the day they were perfection. Fatima’s voice is amazing and the band were so good. Everybody said how brilliant they were. 100% recommend to anyone. This is the band for you if you want excellent Motown and Stax and a great, feel-good party.

Soul Drive were absolutely fantastic. They all performed so well, so that every guest was jubilant about them. We were so happy we chose them, not just for the performance but also for their flexibility. We were quite last minute in several things and they still accommodated us fully. We can’t talk of them highly enough! A special thanks to Fatimah, she has such a beautiful voice and really helped get everything organised. We loved having you all and you played a big part in making the day so memorable for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
September 2024
Soul Drive was everything and more than what I expected! Not only do they sound amazing but they are professional, kind and made the night unforgettable. If you are thinking about booking Soul Drive don’t wait another second! Book them before your date is unavailable. My friends and family are still talking about how fun Soul Drive was! Thank you again for an incredible time!
