Soul Destroyers

Specially for our new years concert of 2024/25 – the mighty Soul Destroyers are more of a tribe than a band, and have been playing their mix of cheese tinged, horn driven soul since Adam was a lad – the line up has come and gone, some have drifted into the sunset, some have died, and some have (genuinely) been born, grown up and then joined the band! A 13 piece line up, with 6 awesome horns, 3 singers and a rock solid rhythm section it is an unnatural phenomenon of truly awe-inspiring musical power. But the music is only part of the story, think Marvin, Aretha and James Brown all jamming under the influence of laughing gas – all fronted by a stand up comedian with a rasping soul voice and the comedy timing of Peter Kay and you are getting close to full The Soul Destroyers Experience. “The Soul Destroyers have an arsenal of secret weapons; a bellowing, charismatic lead singer-cum- stand-up comic, female backing singers who behave like devils and sing like angels, a rock-solid rhythm section and a 6 piece horn section that packs more brass than Lilly Savage.” (Andy Stead – Gloucester Guildhall Arts Centre) Tickets £28 – available from the Town Hall ticket office.
