Soulside
SOULSIDE are dedicated to their craft of bringing you the very best in live entertainment…it takes 10 musicians, £30,000 of equipment and an on-site sound and lighting engineer to deliver each and every performance.
These days, all too many function bands will use backing tapes or hire deputy musicians to augment a poor or ever-changing line-up…not SOULSIDE. Most of our musicians have worked together for several years and we refuse to use tapes, sequencers or any kind of artificial aid. Just 100% live SOULSIDE.
Sunday
The Cider Press Stompers
