London’s funkiest wedding band
Fronting this talented A-Team is Marcel – the self-professed Hannibal of the group whose career began when he graced the stage of the London Palladium as the 1st black artful Dodger in Cameron Mackintosh and Sam Mendes's Oliver Twist.
Marcel has been acting and voicing cartoons ever since but music is where his heart and passion lays and Superstrut is his proudest project in music yet.
Superstrut's drummer is the baby of the group but the backbone of the music! From beating the pots and pans to playing and programming with artists like Jaz Karis, Bobby Mill, Danex and many more, gracing venues like Scala, Athena Leicester and several other venues up and down the country
The band's keyboard player and bassist has spent the last few years gigging in some of UK's most recognised venues such as Ronnie Scott's, Scala, Troy Bar and many more.
When Superstrut's guitarist isn't shredding with the band, he works as a session musician for the likes of KNIGHT, Berg, LONA and Hope. He's been fortunate enough to play some of the UK’s best venue’s and festivals such as The O2, Reading & Leeds main stage and The Isle of Wight Festival.
Close friends who have have been playing together for years, Superstrut bring incredible stage chemistry and energy to every performance. A Superstrut gig is not just a performance, it’s an experience!
The band are easy-going, adaptable and happy to learn a first dance. They're also available with DJ service and/or a horn section.
“Incredible from start to finish. They were super friendly and did an amazing job. They played songs we requested and the team’s musicality was top notch.”
