A great way to finish an epic weekend of music, creativity and fun at the Kirkgate Centre.

Soul Junction is a classy, classic eight-piece line-up of experienced musicians who love soul. The Penrith-based band comprises: sassy lead singer Clare Torn, a sizzling horn section with Jon Skelton on saxophone and Chris Torn and Rebekah Gall on trumpets, the super-tight rhythm of Tony Atkinson and Bill Turner on guitar and bass, Alice Sheppard’s rich sound on keyboard and the energetic Nick Thomas’s one-man work-out on drums. Male vocalists are Jon, Bill and Nick.

The band loves recreating the authentic sound of the classic soul singers such as Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, also Amy Winehouse, and Plan B… in Soul Junction style!

The band has already had huge success playing at festivals, pubs, clubs and private events throughout the country. They have an exciting summer ahead, with a club tour followed by appearances at six festivals.

You may have already been seduced by their sweet soul sound at Maryport Blues, Hootabilly Festival, Culgaith Festival, Novella Festival, or Mains Farm Festival…if not, welcome to the soul party…..the floor is yours!
