"A massive thank you to Body and soul for singing at our daughters engagement party. Fabulous music sung with the soulful velvety voice of Lifford! Thank you guys for letting Charlie sing a few tunes!!! Will highly recommend Body and Soul to our friends!!!"Marsha and Laurence Alexander."Just wanted to say thank you guys very much!! Every one was amazed by how beautiful you guys sounded- was perfect Thanks again"Mr and Mrs Harrison."When I started looking for bands for our wedding I had an idea in mind: someone that could play a good mix of soul and pop, something that would get people up and dancing but also something you can groove to. We had considered having a full live band, but the venue was a little on the small side so amps and a drum kit would probably have been too loud and driven people away. When I found Body and soul I checked out their videos and immediately knew I had found the right band. Their style mixes upbeat guitar with laid-back vocals, which sounds like a contradiction but believe me, they pull it off. When the big day came around they had learnt my wife and I's favourite song "I want you to want me" by Cheap Trick for our first dance. This isn't their usual style of music, but they pulled it off so well, making it a really swinging tune. The rest of their set was fantastic, they blended some classic pop and soul into the perfect playlist. I would definitely recommend Soul Serenade for anyone looking for a professional, top quality band. They were really easy to book and get in contact with, helping to make the wedding flow really smoothly."Pete Wilson"Max and Lifford were amazing, perfect for the event and a joy to work with, would book them again without hesitation."Colin Peacock
