Christmas PartySoul City: Magical, engaging, musical, empowering and super-funky. That sums up this powerhouse group. They own the space and then some. Always smiling, they engage immediately with their audience. Simply put, these girls rock.
The Sky Gardens
From the moment we started talking to Rosa about planning the music for our daughter’s Batmitzvah we knew we could work well together and rely on her expertise in pulling the musical side of the event together, tailored to our needs and meeting our vision of how we wanted the party to be. Soul City band pulled off an amazing coup.
They sang and played the Jewish dancing songs – traditional for a Batmitzvah – as well as contemporary pop and disco songs that kept the dance floor thronging and our guests – both kids and adults – joyously dancing and wanting more. We started with a lovely solo piano set during the reception, then a series of live band sets playing Jewish songs, background chill-out during the meal and then brilliant disco sets. Before the last band set of the night, we also had a DJ set to bring a different flavour to the evenings proceedings.
Soul City were absolutely fantastic, bringing quality, style, variety and personality to our celebration and making it so special for us, our daughter and our guests. The feedback has been great. We’d definitely recommend Rosa and the band to anyone thinking about throwing a lively party, especially a Bar/Batmitzvah!”
