Funk Soul Brother

The band is comfortable entertaining large crowds at corporate events, balls & dinners, and outdoor festivals but also love to engage in special, intimate performances at private events, weddings and birthday parties. The band aim to please and are always happy to make bespoke arrangements for your event.

As of August 2019 the band is led by male lead vocalist Chris Madin*, a professional vocalist who performed on Strictly Come Dancing on BBC TV for seven years and has appeared on countless BBC radio jingles, TV theme tunes and pop tours. He is accompanied by the fabulous Anna Ross-Straw on female vocals and an array of musicians including Jon Wilson (guitar), Dave Graham (keyboards and sax), Tom Bull (bass), Bryan Corbett (trumpet), Chris ‘Beebe’ Aldridge (sax) and Jay Goldmark (drums).

These are all incredibly experienced musicians who have worked with a host of touring musicians including the Brand New Heavies, Tony Christie, Heatwave, Odyssey, Showaddywaddy and Mike Sanchez to name a few. They have also appeared at major festivals across the world.

Top clients include the NHS, the National Space Centre, Mars PLC, Leicester Tigers, National Exhibition Centre, P&O, Walkers, Howdens, Williams Medical, and Lands’ End Europe.

The band has also performed extensively for high-profile clients around its home in the East Midlands, including Rutland Water, Oakham School, Uppingham School, the Matt Hampson Foundation and Oakham Festival.

Event organisers have described the band as ‘just fab, and so helpful and accommodating’, receiving feedback from their own clients that is ‘simply incredible’.
