bands on ph

[CraigW]

do we have any decent hirable bands on ph - motown/soul/commitments type stuff?

I play in a Northern Soul/Motown/Hammond/60s Mod band.... Called DC Fontana.

It's a good tight band, we're reasonably well known and have played some fairly large gigs - not quite Commitments (although we play a few of those tracks), more a Northern Soul thing.

thanks Tom, much as i love the whole northern soul thing, (one of my favourite songs ever is sam dees, lonely for you baby, you know it?) My guests probably wouldnt appreciate more than a few tracks.

I know one of the backing singers in a band called Straight Eight (I think there are 11 of them.. .. ..). They have been going for a looooong time but are well regarded for the sort of music you are looking for - contact Ella at www.ummevents.co.uk. Tell her Kim sent you.

Good luck.
