The Soul Searchers came about as a result of a genuine desire to provide something unique; a cover band of the highest quality, actively committed to capturing & recreating the authentic sound & feel of classic & modern funk, soul, and rock 'n' roll from the world's leading artists. Their vision was to achieve this, not only without the use of sequencers, backing tracks or sheet music, but also with a line - up of just 5 members, making us notably more affordable to clients over comparable bands covering similar material.

Over 30 auditions were held to seek out only the Midland's premiere professional soul musicians and singers - the resulting line - up features five guys all aged under 35, but with a combined total of over 80 years musical experience! The band's repertoire of well-known songs is guaranteed to get any crowd singing & dancing, and because of the eclectic mix of catchy, funky, soulful & rockin' tunes from across the past 5 decades, there's bound to be something for everyone!

The band provides a full 1600w PA system, and a lighting rig with moving scanners, to make sure your night goes off with a bang! They can also provide a variety of music from an iPod between sets, or you are welcome to bring your own to play through our PA. As Musicians Union members, the band are fully insured for public liability cover, and all equipment is PAT tested in line with current regulations.

“The band was fantastic! It was the icing on the cake for a beautiful wedding. The music was excellent, varied and lively! Despite the stunning weather, as soon as the band kicked off our guests were straight inside! Really dancey and appealing to the varied ages of our party. You were all very helpful from start to finish, many thanks for helping us celebrate our wedding and we will definitely book you when we next get married!!!!”

“I have had nothing but great feedback from my guests about your band, your song list is excellent and me and my husband are thinking about having a divorce so we can get married again and have you playing on the beach in the seychelles, hee hee. Thanks for adding a special touch to our big day. You were worth every penny, and such polite talented lads! Good luck and hope to hire you again in the future.”
