‘This Is UK SOUL’ is a new collaborative event to showcase the best in British soul music.

Fresh from the release of their critically acclaimed second album ‘Seven Ways To Wonder’, ‘This Is UK SOUL’ is headlined by London’s finest soul collective Reel People.

“Reel People really know how to throw a party. A stormingly joyous and warm atmospheric performance.” Metro, on the Reel people live experience.

“The future of soul music”, concludes The Voice following their sold out Jazz Café show in February

Reel People’s appearance is made all the more special, as they hook up with UK soul legend OMAR, plus The Urban Soul Orchestra, both of whom featured on ‘Seven Ways To Wonder’.

Norman Jay needs little introduction, but to recap, the London based DJ has been a cornerstone of the Notting Hill Carnival for many years with his Good Times Soundsystem and even netted himself an MBE for his 'services to DJing and music'.

Critical acclaim for Reel People’s recent album, Seven Ways To Wonder

“Eminently listenable and beautifully played.” Sunday Express

“Another soulful masterpiece.” Irish Daily Star

“Oodles of club-savvy funk, jazz and broken beat rhythms: think cutting edge production combined with knowing retro flourishes.” Music Week

“Another UK soul classic.” Mixmag, urban album of the month
