Testimonials

"We booked Soznak to play at our wedding evening reception, and from start to finish they were fantastic. We had first seen Soznak playing around Newcastle Upon Tyne, playing mostly on Northumberland Street and always found their energy and their groove infectious. We were absolutely thrilled to find out they played weddings and so booked Paul and the guys without hesitation, and we were so glad that we did.

Soznak make you want to dance, and dance people did. Amazing musicians, and amazing performers, with a fantastic, and eclectic set list too. Everyone at our wedding was raving about 'The Band' and I'm thrilled that they were available to make our special day that much more special.

Paul was very professional to deal with and a really nice guy, as were other musicians in Soznak. We would thoroughly recommend them."

Helen & Ian, 2018
