SOUL TRAIN’s repertoire is extremely varied and as you will see from the list
there is definitely “something for everyone”. All of the songs in this list are tried and tested
and from extensive experience we know they work, and we do update our set regularly to keep it as fresh as possible.
SOUL TRAIN rarely begin a function with a pre-arranged set-list and prefer to read the crowd
on the night and play a set that we think suits the ages/tastes of the audience.
The “First Waltz” is the first and most important song of the evening and will often be a
song which has special meaning or relevance for the Bride and Groom. SOUL TRAIN will learn any first dance request
that is not already in our set list.
