Testimonial received 17 Sept 10 for Wedding we played on 7 Aug 2010
We have just received this today from Patricia Ritchie, bride’s mother from the wedding we did in Peterhead in August. Another glowing testimonial from satisfied customers.
Hi Marg,
Not sure if this is where i am supposed to leave feedback but here goes and hope you get it. Don’t know where the last month has gone, it’s been so busy.
Well as you know things all got a bit delayed on the day of Georgia and Andrew’s wedding, and that, I am told is par for the course with weddings. You’ve just got to go with the flow apparently! So, sincere apologies for any stress related incidents!!!
Atlantic Soul – What can we say except – You were BRILLIANT! Anyone reading this looking to book a band for any kind of function, just STOP! Book this band, stop trudging through the internet looking for something better because it wont happen! Just book them. They are the best wedding band that we, and the 280 guests at our daughters wedding, have ever heard. A full dance floor at 1.30 am is testimony to their fantastic performance and the guests were only left wanting more!
Marge, we cant thank you enough. It was the perfect end to a perfect day. It wasn’t just a wedding dance – you guys made it a celebration, a party and a night that we will never forget. Your professionalism kept the dance floor full all night, it was indeed a memorable occasion!
Thanks Marge for playing on that extra time too. It was indeed above and beyond especially given that you had another gig on the Sunday.
Our daughters wedding reception was a huge success and that was due largely to atmosphere that you guys created.
A spectacular day with an explosive finale thanks to you.
Thanks to all at Atlantic Soul.
Patricia

You said 7 July 2009 day ago:
Thanks for the email/comment John. It was an absolute pleasure to play for you guys. Glad you all enjoyed it so much and glad you made it back to the sunny climes of Bahrain safely. Will let you find your feet back there and hopefully you’ll be in touch later. We’re still on the boat and having a ball, though the hot weather’s taking it’s toll – not complaining though as it’s better than rainy Scotland any day. Hopefully catch up with you again soon. Luv – Marj & the band xxxxxx

Hi Ya,
Just to say thanks again for the great show on both crossings, Mel and I enjoyed the music and banter. If you ever get down to Frankfurt let us know, you are more than welcome !!
Best regards Annette & Mel x
You said 3 weeks ago:
Hi Annette, nice to hear from you again and glad you enjoyed our shows. It was great to meet a Motown legend and just a pity he didn’t feel like singing. If Mel’s still in touch with Berry, ask him to put a word in! Seriously, it was really lovely to meet you both and ditto goes for you, next time you’re back in Scotland, we may see you on the boat or drop by for a drink if you’re out our way and if I ever get back to Germany, may well drop by and say hi ourselves. Hope you had a safe journey home. Top people! Take care for now. Marji xx
Annette McKerrell said 3 weeks ago:
Hi Marji,
Just read your latest blog……. must have been some night with a full ship and a good old singsong in the lounge…….wish I was there! Mel is in St Louis Missouri for a few days. A fellow Air Force friend is retiring and we were invited to his retirement ceremony. I unfortunately did not have any leave left plus next week I have to undergo surgery on my knee. I am at home alone this weekend (and loving it but only because I know he will be back on Wednesday. Looking forward to seeing some photos if you do the Abba night, sounds like it will be a great laugh.
Take good care and keep good thoughts,
Annette x
Hello Marji,
So sorry to hear the bad news about the ship, it will be a BIG disappointment to all that enjoyed your shows!! I will keep up with your schedule via the WEB page and am sure one of our trips home we can catch a gig.
Best Regards
Annette & Mel xx

Hello Atlantic Soulband !
Greating from Pécs, from Hungary !
I’m musician too i’m playing guitar since 1991. Actually i’m playing in a party band.
You are a very good band, i like your music very well.
Extra congratulation to your “guitarist” .
The stage effects, the sound, the stagecraft,the show and the stage presence, and your youtube videos are perfect ! ! So the band is very cool ! ! ! !
I’d like to ask how long are you playing in the Atlantic Soul Showband and how often have you chance to play? What kind of music do you like without soul? Bye !
Thank you for your very kind comments Mike. We’ve been together and playing professionally as a band for 10 years now so hopefully in that time we have honed our skills to put on the best professional show for our clients. I will tell our guitarist you liked his playing. We started as purely a soul, motown, disco and funk party band but now play a range of music from the 1950s to today’s modern chart music. We play all the time, every week, up to 3 times per week. Please do let me have your website address of your band. Thanks again for the comments.

Atlantic Soul guys and girls just a short note before we head off on our honeymoon to thank you all very much for the excellent fun & wonderful entertainment on Friday at our wedding. Everybody thought that you were an absolutely amazing band. Thanks as well for taking the time to learn our first dance which was absolutely beautiful and very special for us. I have never seen such a full dance floor at any wedding but the fact that it was our wedding was brilliant to see all of our guests having so much fun. We wish you all the success in the world, you deserve it. Well off now to the Dominican Republic for 3 weeks. PS if you did record our first dance we would love to buy a copy of it, please let me know. Thanks again for everything Louise and Brian (Mr and mrs Keegan)xoxoxoxoxo
