Roy Forbes sings SOUL
From an early age Roy has had an interest in soul from artists such as Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Al Green, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Sam & Dave to name but a few. Roy’s main influence in this genre was and still is Michael Jackson.
The Roy Forbes Quintet, whilst retaining its cool jazz credentials, evolved into the ultimate wedding/party experience, playing cool jazz during dinner and/or soul and funk for dancing. As a result, the band acquired a huge reputation for quality and versatility.
Roy continues this tradition and his set list is hugely varied so that his style can suit the ambience of the room.
