» Profile

Double Take was set up to provide something they felt was largely missing among function bands genuine soul! Countless auditions were held to find passionate talented & versatile singers & players, able not only to accurately reproduce the dynamics & feel of peoples favourite old Motown & soul records, but also sound every bit as at home playing modern chart classics from some of the worlds leading artists.

100% live (no backing tracks or sequencers), this accomplished band plays an awesome & unique set of classic funk, soul, motown, disco and rock n roll tracks performed seamlessly alongside soulful modern chart classics, that never fails to wow audiences. Performances are energetic & enthusiastic, and with years of experience packing dance floors, guests are guaranteed to be dancing & singing along from the first song to the last!

What really makes the band stand out so much from others though is their attention to detail they know guests at a function want to hear their favourite songs performed as they know and love them and no other band sounds as close to the original songs leading to comments from guests such as I had to do a double take to check it wasnt really Stevie Wonder!

As well as having hundreds of appearances under their belts at private parties, weddings & corporate functions (including numerous household name companies) at some of the nations premiere venues, members of Double Take have toured extensively and recorded with Alvin Stardust, performed with King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys; played at the world renowned Reading Festival; appeared on live BBC radio sessions and lead singer Clarke Bailey even appeared on ITVs X-Factor in 2006, making it all the way to Simon Cowells infamous boot camp!
