11 After Midnight
In spite of the name, we're a 12 piece soul band. Think "Blues Brothers" and "Tamla Motown" and you'll get an idea of the range of material we feature in our show. We thought that "eleven" sounded better than "twelve" in the name.
We have 4 singers - George, Kevin, Jude and Mike. We feature a four piece brass section which has a habit of being rather fluid in its membership due to a high demand for brass players in the area. The rhythm section is myself on guitar, Mike on bass - he's also the M.D., Dave on drums, and Sandra on keys.
Some of the songs we play are:
Sweet Soul Music
Take Me To the River
Soul Man
Midnight Hour
Knock On Wood
Son of a Preacher Man
Dark End of the Street
Reach Out (I'll Be There)
You Keep Me Hangin' On
We don't play that often. It's mainly a fun thing and we all have other musical interests, but when we do gig, the whole band really gets into it and we haven't had a duff gig yet - touch wood…….
