Soul Unity
Soul Unity formed in 2014 after being asked to perform for a friend's wedding. Word spread and that soon turned into 25 gigs all around the country in a summer. Gary Poole was then chosen to audition for BBC's The Voice and made the decision to be part of Tom Jones' team after he and Ricky Wilson turned.
Bryan McLellan, the band's drummer was a member of Vega4 who released 2 albums (SONY BMG and CAPITOL RECORDS). The band toured extensively around the world supporting many major artists like Snow Patrol and Bryan Adams. Bryan is now one of the main faculty at the London Centre of Contemporary Music. 2 of the school's finest graduates were recruited to complete the line up. Charles Plassard (guitar/vox) is now an up and coming writer/producer and Ollie Mitchell (bass) has been making a name for himself on the London freelance session scene.
The band has an extensive repertoire but really shine when playing classic soul and Motown.

"..all I can say is thank you for an excellent evening! Everyone, but everyone, was knocked out and you were exceptional. The quality was above that for which I had hoped and we will all recommend you if ever the need arises. Nice people and very professional.” - Glyn Giusti
Soul Unity where simply everything I had wished for, not knowing much about the entertainment industry you feel like you are taking abit of a gamble, especially for a wedding but Bryan was very reassuring and answered as many questions as I asked.
They arrived and were a pleasure to have at our wedding, professional, happy and enjoyed the atmosphere.
I had anticipated and mentioned to them that I didn't expect any guests dancing until the second set, but everyone was up first song, it was amazing, I've never seen that at a wedding before!
Their choice of songs were spot on in every-way. We felt rather sad to see them go. I would have them again and would highly recommend!
Thank you guys for creating an amazing atmosphere, you were fab!
Kindest regards
Naomi and Nick
