A soul covers band consisting of seasoned local musicians ... it doesn't sound particularly unusual, does it?
But the Agency are different, completely different.

Anyone who has experienced this band in full magisterial flight will never forget the raw excitement and thrilling
atmosphere as the Agency hit their stride and feed off a responsive audience.

They are, quite simply, awesome. The secret lies in the
brass. These are no part-time backup musicians, but each
a supreme player in his own right, with bags of experience
in a range of musical areas but also plenty of boyish
enthusiasm. Put simply, they live the music, love to improvise but, above all, excel at a naturally-occurring power and precision. They punch hard, they are funky, and
they have fun.

Or maybe the secret lies in the rhythm section? Certainly,
Richard's jazz-influenced bass-playing is of a standard
which can only come from instinctive genius. People regularly opine that Richard is one of the best bassists they have ever heard, and you don't find that in many pub bands. When he locks into a groove with the amiably inventive
percussion / drums partnership of Nick and Melvin
(both looking and acting like something out of a silent
movie), you have the bedrock which means that even the
most atrophied audience will break into a dancing frenzy.
