About Us

Introducing The New Disciples of Soul…

The New Disciples are both musically and visually one of the UK's top Soul/Funk bands with the ability to cover many different styles from 70's through to present day smash hits. Keeping their tradition firmly based on "Classic Soul with Attitude" they provide the highest level of professional entertainment whatever the occasion.

All time classics from the likes of Sam and Dave, The Commitments, James Brown, Madness, Michael Jackson, The Blues Brothers, Kool and The Gang, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Van Morrison and Tina Turner ensure their performances are always a success.

Highly Experienced

The band consists of highly trained (London, Oxford, Birmingham, Paris) professional musicians that have been hand picked from around The Midlands.

They feature male and female vocals of the highest calibre with vast experience in entertaining audiences of all sizes. Between them they have appeared on top rate television shows and fronted many award winning outfits both nationally and internationally.

Collectively, the bands musical heritage is vast having travelled across Europe performing many styles such as Classical (CBSO, Naxos), Jazz (Guy Barker, Randy Johnston (USA)), Big Band (MYJO, Fat Chops) and Soul (Giants of Soul, Dr Brian) to name but a few.

The New Disciples have been performing to full houses across the UK and Ireland having recently returned from The Guinness Cork Jazz Festival for the 8th consecutive year.

Other notable gigs have included regular appearances at Jools Holland's Jam House, Richard Branson's “V4” and being voted top band of "The Soul Weekend" at Butlins for two years in a row (2001 & 2002).

The New Disciples have extensive experience performing in many different kinds of venue from bars to stately homes to 3000 capacity venues such as the International Convention Centre (ICC), Birmingham. This has involved many different types of event from corporate functions and weddings to private parties and festivals.

We have a Scorching Horn Section.

The New Disciples offer a full 90-minute show usually split into 2 x 45 minute sets (negotiable) creating a high-energy party atmosphere.
