- I just wanted to say a huge ‘Thank You’ to you and the rest of Urban Soul Orchestra for Saturday night. You were all absolutely fantastic and we’ve had so many great reports from our guests who all thought you were super! You went over and above all expectations ... Thanks again, you guys made the evening!
Issy Newling, Hospitality Executive, The Lawn Tennis Association, Wimbledon Ball. - I just wanted to email to say a HUGE thank you to you and the Orchestra on the shoot on Wednesday. Thank you for all your help in pulling a very good looking group of men. They provided a stunning centre piece to the shoot. The crew wanted to cry when they started playing in the field at Osterley Park, it was amazing. The Director was so pleased and was just what she had imagined in her head. I think all the girls want to have them at their weddings to play.... Will you please send on my thanks to the guys and thank them also for letting us use their cases and instruments and just being game for it really. Please keep me posted on what you are all up to and if your playing as I would love to come and see you

Urban Soul Orchestra
The Urban Soul Orchestra is a contemporary and versatile string ensemble with a groovy twist.
Originally a string ensemble but now with additional elements such as percussion, bass, DJ and vocals which has created their own unique blend of strings, beats and bass lines that provide different entertainment options for your entire event. Soulful arrangements of lush strings and funky rhythms combine to produce a fresh, modern and classy sound.
Whether it be something different and memorable to launch your new product, creating the perfect environment for your clients to network to, or that special music to make your wedding day unique, USO has the perfect set to suit your needs. They can also collaborate with other artists including dancers to create a more comprehensive floorshow.
The Urban Soul Orchestra have an exclusively arranged repertoire of chilled out lounge grooves, contemporary pop and soul, cool jazz and blues, and beautiful classical music. They also offer several different sets - the USO Chill Out Set is often a favourite for drinks receptions, the Acoustic Ensemble during dinner and the USO DJ Set or Big Band (also available as the Little Big Band) to keep you and your guests on the dance floor until the end of the night!
