Hi everyone,
December has just started and that can only mean one thing... Christmas!
We have a busy month ahead of us. We opened the other day with our annual gig at Porter's Cardiff and as always, it didn't disappoint. We premiered a couple of new tunes including the cheese- epic classic Africa by Toto, which went down a storm.
It is amazing to meet some of you that have booked us in the past and keep coming back to see us in action. Big shout out to Will and Becky Coomer and their friend Jonathan, we have great memories from your wedding at Oldwalls back in May and it's great to see you all again! Also shout out to Kathryn and Sheryl who we considerpart of the Soul Lotta Family too. It was also great to meet Sarah and Dewi who we will be performing for next August at Gwert Hotel Spa in Cardigan.
More stuff...
Next Friday, the 7th, we have our own Christmas Party at Nos Da Cardiff. We are going to play tunes that we haven't done for ages just for fun, have a drink and enjoy the festive season with all of you. It's free entry and we will start at 9pm so make sure you get there in time!
Then, like last year we will perform for Legal and General on their annual Christmas Party, this time as a 7 piece band, bigger and better! And finally we will end the year with a wedding at the lovely De Courceys Manor.
In the meantime we have started planning for our new promo video. We want it to be cool, professional, slick and more focused towards the corporate market. We are planning to release it around March or April next year if everything goes to plan!

Wedding Season is not over yet!
Quick weekend break and we will be back for a pretty busy October and beginning of November!!!
We'd like to thank all the couples that booked us for their weddings over the summer. We have had a fantastic time so far and made loads of friends and good memories.
We are currently working on a few new tracks for our live sets that we think will go down a storm. If you would like to check us out we have booked 2 public dates for December 2018:
1st December: Porter's Bar Cardiff Free entry, first set 10pm. We will be doing our usual sets as a 7 piece band with a few new tracks. It is always a great night so if you are thinking on booking us for your wedding or event next year this is the best opportunity to catch us in action!
7th December: Nos Da Cardiff. Free entry, first set from 9pm. This show will be quite special. It is our Christmas party and we are treating ourselves! We will play 2 sets of tracks we love but sometimes don't play at weddings because they are a bit more obscure. There will be loads of Michael Jackson, Jamiroquai, Bruno Mars.... It will be a fun night, come round and have a drink with us.
Finally we'd like to thank all the couples that voted us at the Welsh National Wedding Awards 2018. Thanks to you all we have been shortlisted in our region for Best Wedding Entertainment! It is already a great honour but we want more.... ;)

Of Awards and Weddings...
This year, we had the pleasure to play again for Business in The Community Cymru (https://www.bitc.org.uk/wales) which celebrated their Responsible Business Awards gala at SWALEC Stadium.
Again, amazing gig! It was great to have the guys from Stage Sound Services (https://www.stagesoundservices.co.uk) taking care of our sound on stage. One of their staff on the night was our sax player Rosie!
We played a couple of sets, one acoustic, more relaxed set while guests were having dinner and then a party set after the awards ceremony. Dancefloor was packed like last year and we had loads of fun!
Meanwhile, wedding season is in full swing. We travelled to the stunning Jabajaks Vineyard in Carmarthen to play for Hannah and Karl. What a crazy gig... it included guests on stage playing some Enrique Iglesias, Sia and Neil Diamond and some fish tickling!
We have done some fun weddings recently and had an incredible response from our couples. Check their testimonials:
We'll keep you informed of all our adventures.

Back in full swing
Ah! It's been a while...
2018 so far is turning to be a great year! We are now back in full swing on the wedding scene. During these past few months we have performed multiple times at different venues, new and old, and played some really fun gigs.
These are some highlights so far...
Richard and Anouska's 70s themed birthday party: we stepped up our moustache/wig game for this incredible retro birthday party. Richard really knows how to put a party together and he turned Cornerstone Cardiff into a proper night club to celebrate Anouska's birthday. We played a lot of disco classics to suit the theme of the evening and kept the dancefloor full the whole night!
Then, we performed at the stunning Exchange Hotel in Cardiff for Ty Hafan and Westbourne School. Lovely gig (props to Jo for organising it) in which we could meet again with James and Laura who we played for last year at the beautiful Kingscote Barn! So good to see you guys :)
Then, in what has been one of the coldest and snowiest March we can remember, we travelled to Llangoed Hall in the heart of Brecon to perform for Sian and Jon. We had a lovely time there although unfortunately on the way back we got caught in a snow storm (yellow alert) in the middle of Brecon. Luckily, with a bit of help from Heddlu - South Wales Police we could return home safe.

Finally, last Thursday we visited the stunning Oldwalls Gower to play for Will and Becky. Our sets went down a storm and we kept the dancefloor full all night. Props to Will and Becky for one of the most incredible wedding first dances we've ever seen (including a back flip)! The couple wrote a lovely review for us on our google page:
Back at it again next Saturday at Caer Llan (new venue for us) playing for Charlotte and Evan! We will keep you informed.

New Year, New Video, New formats
Hi everyone!
We are so happy to present our new promo video 2018. Check it out at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwcPwjLusqI
We have just launched our new big band formats: 7 piece with a sax player and 8 piece with sax and percussion. Our main aim with this video is give our couples or clients a true representation of what the band can do. What you are hearing is 100% live, no overdubs, no tricks, no backing tracks, little mistakes here and there... This is Soul Lotta Funk doing our thing in a real gig.
There are a lot of people to thank:
Nicky Lyons - yep, our singer Nick put a lot of work mixing the audio for the video. He has done an amazing job.
Tom Smith - from Together Wedding Films (www.togetherweddingfilms.com) Tom is incredible to work with. He pays so much attention to detail and if he gets involved in your project he does it for real. Everything we have asked him for he has done it, great working ethic and great guy! Also huge thanks to his pal John for coming to film to Porters with Tom.
Rob Hearne - he sound engineered our gig. Without him we couldn't have had the quality of recording needed to release this video. Thank you very much Rob! You did a great job.
Porter's Cardiff - because it's the home of our showcases and everytime we play there we have the place bouncing. Thanks for letting us film!
Rosie and Imran - our saxophonist and percussionist for jumping in the gig and delivering great sounds ;)
We are running a promotion during January 2018. If you enquire during January we will offer you our 7 piece band (with sax) for the price of our 6 piece Platinum Package.
Many thanks for visiting our page,
