About us
Gee Baby I Love You
Gee Baby I Love You is a staple of the Bristol and South West live music scene – bringing classic soul and heavyweight funk with the kind of polish venues love and audiences feel immediately.
At the front are John Orme (guitar & vocals) and Cherie Musialik (vocals), backed by a tight, groove-first rhythm section: Phil Yorke (drums), Rick Pearson (bass) and Max Davies (keys). The sound is lifted and powered by a full brass line-up — Savio Pacini (trombone), Rebecca Sneddon (sax) and Martyn Harries (trumpet) — delivering that unmistakable big-band soul punch: sharp hits, warm harmonies, and hooks that land.
This is a band built for live rooms: tight arrangements, authentic feel, and a set designed to get people dancing fast — and keep them there. Whether it’s a busy venue night, a festival slot, or a function where you need the party to happen, Gee Baby I Love You bring the energy, the musicianship, and the professionalism to make it effortless. The band’s reputation is backed by archive footage and appearances including BBC Points West, BBC Children in Need and BBC Pebble Mill, plus live sets at Ashton Court Festival (Bristol) and venues such as The Prom Wine Bar (Bristol) — with TV credit appearances including Every Home Should Have One.
As one client put it:
“The performance exceeded our expectations… John and the band got people going from the off and the dancing continued all night.”
If you’re looking for a high-quality, reliable soul & funk band with a proper show and a proper groove — you’ve found us.
