booked The Soulstress for their event October 2024

“We recently had the pleasure of hosting Jo's band at our work event in Elephant and Castle, and they were absolutely fantastic! Their set was spot-on, filled with perfect tunes that everyone knew and loved, creating a great atmosphere that kept the energy high throughout the night. They even took requests, which made the experience feel even more personalised and special for our team. Not only were they organised and professional, but they were also genuinely lovely people to work with. Jo and her musicians brought such warmth and charm to our event – we couldn't have asked for a better performance! Highly recommended for any occasion!”
