Funk & Soul Wedding Bands for Hire in London

London has a vast array of outstanding professional funk & soul bands to choose from.

Our local funk & soul bands are selected by invitation only, and all are highly recommended by previous clients based on several factors, including quality, professionalism, punctuality and the ability to get wedding guests dancing.

At FixTheMusic, bands provide quotes directly to you – FixTheMusic is free for event planners to use.

You can submit an enquiry to get offers directly from our hand-picked professional funk & soul bands in the local area. You are always in direct contact with bands via our messaging system. When you've made your choice, you can book and pay securely on FixTheMusic.

Outstanding professional musicians

Our funk & soul bands have performed at notable venues in London, including Dingwalls, The Roof Gardens (Kensington), Blues Kitchen Brixton, The Pheasantry, Banqueting House, The Dorchester, Kew Gardens, Syon Park, Somerset House, The Langham, Fulham Palace, The Old Royal Naval College and The Savoy.

As they are in such high demand, many of our funk & soul bands already have bookings up to two years in advance at some of the venues above.

Funk & soul bands on FixTheMusic have public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.

Funk & soul bands in London generally start at about £950 for a 4-piece group. The average price for hiring a band in London is £962. Some larger bands will charge over £1,000.

If your venue has a PA system, cover bands may be able to provide a cheaper quote if they are not required to transport their own PA system. The same applies to a lighting rig – if your venue has one, the cover band may provide a cheaper quote.

At FixTheMusic, bands provide quotes directly to you – FixTheMusic is free for event planners to use. Through FixTheMusic, you will receive offers from some of the best funk & soul bands London has to offer.

Our funk & soul bands are also able to perform in other styles, such as Motown tribute, rhythm and blues (often abbreviated as R&B or RnB) and pop covers. Some of our funk & soul bands also have a horn section (usually a combination of trumpet, saxophone and trombone), meaning their line-ups can range from 5 piece up to 13 piece, although 9 piece bands are a common line-up for this genre.

Many of our funk & soul tribute bands are able to provide a DJ service between and after sets at little or no extra cost. If you're looking for a professional and local funk & soul band, London has a broad range to choose from to suit all preferences.

Bands for hire in London on FixTheMusic are able to travel to venues in Greater London and throughout South East England. This includes the surrounding counties of Essex, Berkshire, Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
