Launceston Town Hall

VINTAGE FUNK AND SOUL DANCE PARTY

Celebrating upbeat Soul and Funk classics from the catalogues of STAX, ATLANTIC, FAME, PHILIDELPHIA and MOTOWN, the band review the hits of STEVIE WONDER, ARETHA FRANKLIN, EDWIN STAR, SOLOMON BURKE, MARVIN GAYE, MARTHA REEVES and many more.

The Soul Traders story was begun by Den Hegarty (Darts) in 1999 when he put a band together specifically to play at the grand opening of his local village hall. Twenty-five years and many reincarnations later the thirteen-piece band continues to work and thrive under the mentoring and leadership of Big Den.

The band’s close four-part harmonies, fearless brass and ruthless back line make for a dance night to challenge your very best boots.
