Soul Junction is a classy, classic seven-piece soul 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, Rebekah Gall's rich sound on keyboard (when she’s not playing trumpet!) 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, Amy Winehouse, and Plan B... in Soul Junction style. They also throw in a few classic Northern Soul numbers to add to the high energy dance party mix.

The band is in its second year and has already had huge success playing at festivals, pubs, clubs and private events throughout the country. This year they kicked off with a successful club tour, to be followed by appearances at twelve festivals.

You may have already been seduced by their sweet soul sound at Solfest, Carlisle Fringe, Maryport Blues, Hootabilly, Mains Farm, Silloth, Aspatria….…if not, welcome to the soul party, the floor is yours!
