About the Band

Six-piece as standard, fronted by Ric Stanbridge — playing the room, not a fixed set.

The Soul Lounge is a six-piece as standard, fronted by Ric Stanbridge, and performs from a 200+ song catalogue rather than a fixed set — reading the room and shaping the night as it goes.

The band scales to the occasion: available as a three-piece through to a full ten-piece. For dressier functions, or where a client wants a run of more modern or female-led numbers, additional or guest vocalists can be brought in as a premium option — a footnote on the standard offer, not the default. The house sound is always Ric out front with the regular squad.

Two premium extensions sit on top of the standard offer (see Special Sets below): a dedicated Reggae / Bob Marley set for a change of colour, and a Beatles Ensemble — top-end Beatles performers brought in with strings, quartet or octet — for clients wanting a genuine showpiece tier.

Part One — The Stock Sets

How to use these: pick the stock set that matches your event, read it top to bottom, and swap any song you'd rather not have for one from the Swap-ins beneath it (or anything from the Full Repertoire further down). That's your set list — built in five minutes. You tweak; you don't write from scratch.

Premium Tier · Enquire

The Beatles Ensemble

Top-end Beatles performers, brought together with orchestral strings.

String quartetOctetFull arrangementBespoke, priced per event

For clients wanting a genuine showpiece, top-end, internationally-experienced Beatles performers can be sourced and brought together with orchestral strings — quartet, octet or full arrangement — scaled to the occasion, the room and the budget.

It works beautifully as a string-led daytime centrepiece at a wedding — a distinct, elegant moment set apart from the soul-and-funk evening — or as the marquee element of a society or corporate event.

This is a bespoke premium offering, priced per event: the ensemble, arrangements and personnel are built around each client's brief and budget. A clear tier above the standard band — and priced to reflect it.

Enquire and we'll shape it to your event
Part Two — The Full Repertoire

The repertoire spans the 1950s to today and is always growing. If your favourite isn't listed, just ask.

How the personnel works here: the band performs modern and female-led numbers with Ric fronting and the regular squad as standard. For a longer run of modern or female-vocal repertoire, a guest or additional vocalist can be brought in as a premium option — just ask when you enquire and we'll shape the line-up to your event.

The Soul Lounge performs from this catalogue rather than a fixed set list — reading the room, responding to your guests, and shaping the atmosphere across the whole event.
