Soul II Soul

On October 24, 2026, Soul II Soul bring their London-born sound system spirit to Sheffield City Hall. Steered by Jazzie B, the collective shaped a British street‑soul vocabulary that blends soul, R&B, hip‑hop, dance and reggae heritage into their Funki Dred signature, forged at early parties from the Africa Centre to Brixton. On stage, that history becomes a fluid, groove‑driven set where live drums, bass and rotating voices carry songs made for both movement and chorus.

Expect the essentials — “Keep On Movin’” and “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)” — alongside deeper cuts from Club Classics Vol. One through later volumes, revisited with the current line‑up, often featuring Charlotte Kelly among the vocalists. The lineage that once included Caron Wheeler and Nellee Hooper still informs the sound, but the focus stays on feel and flow rather than nostalgia. Decades on, Soul II Soul play a concert like a sound system session: collective energy, tight rhythms, and songs that connect the dancefloor to everyday life.
