About this Act

The Soul Department is a 9-piece, Midlands based soul and Motown band with three live horns and an energy you have to see and hear to believe. Their authentic sound is perfectly balanced with unique arrangements, giving a modern lift to all your favourite soul numbers and some more modern party tunes too.

This repertoire includes masses of Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner etc, plus takes in more modern songs such as Uptown Funk and Mark Ronson tracks and they're also happy to learn a new song or two. 

Happy Customers

MELANIE COOK, HAMPTON COURT CASTLE, SEPTEMBER 2017

We particularly wanted a soul band and during our seemingly endless search of bands we were just drawn to Junction 2! They played at our evening wedding reception earlier this month.  
Good reviews usually state pros and cons however, the band genuinely do not have any cons! They were professional from the onset, sounded incredible, looked incredible, great repertoire, were brilliant fun and had our wedding party rockin'!!! From start to finish they had our guests on their feet, we loved every minute! Exactly what we wanted! Cannot recommend these guys enough, worth their weight in gold, definitely will book them again, no question!! 
Thank you, you were amazing!!  Melanie Cook xx

JO & ANDY - OCTOBER '16

What a fantastic band. You really made our wedding reception with great songs, incredible vocals, amazing musical talent and pure class. We had so much praise for the band on the night and would like to thank you for making our night even more special and performing a fantastic version of our first dance. Would highly recommend you.

BECKY & JOE - JULY '16

Thank you so so much for performing at our wedding in Stratford upon Avon. You were totally amazing and our guests loved you. Thank you also for learning my song request for my dad, he loved it and it meant a lot. We had an amazing day and our evening rocked! Thank you
