I will be released

Stand by me

Midnight hour

I put a spell on you

In 1965 a bunch of school friends decided to form a band and play the music they all loved - soul. They called the band the Soul Agency, and for the next couple of years they had a wild time, playing the pub and club circuit in Stoke-on-Trent, and building a dedicated group of followers. They all went their separate ways in 1968, but all kept their love of music and performing. Then forty five years later someone organised a reunion. The tracks on this page are the result of that reunion - with no rehearsal, and only old memories to go on, we played 40 numbers, and recorded them on a mobile phone. These are the best of them,
