The Finest Funk & Soul Wedding 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.

Reviews from local events in Greater London
“Soul Destiny were the BEST. We had them for our wedding - everyone danced all night long and everyone said how good they were. Definitely recommend them, great communication before the wedding. Thanks so much!”
Booked Soul Destiny for a wedding at Town Hall Hotel & Apartments, London, UK
“Amazing, cannot recommend this band highly enough it truly made our evening. Having them sing our first dance just made it perfect! All our guests commented how good they were and some never left the dance floor.”
“The Roameo Band were absolutely fantastic at our client’s wedding party from start to finish. They created such an amazing atmosphere and had everyone on the dancefloor all night. The guests absolutely loved them, and their energy and interaction with the crowd were brilliant. They were also incredibly friendly, professional, and very quick to respond throughout the planning process, which made everything so easy for us as event planners. We would highly recommend them for weddings and parties, and we would love to work with them again in the future!”
“As good as everyone says. Extremely professional in the organisation and lead up, and unbelievable vibes on the day. Dance floor full all night!”
“Soul Destiny were absolutely fantastic. They got everyone on the dance floor, whilst still bringing a cool, relaxed vibe to the evening party. Jim was so helpful, responsive and professional leading up to the event. He adapted their music to the playlist we wanted, including allowing my mum to sing a rendition of Valerie with him! Thank you so much Soul Destiny - you made our night.”
Booked Soul Destiny for a wedding at Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings, London, UK
“We booked The Legends Collective for a 40th birthday party and WOW they made the night so so memorable bringing an amazing atmosphere to the event. Particularly loved the garage medleys and all the old skool throwbacks. All the guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have had so many compliments since. Special kudos to Joe who was brilliant to communicate with to plan the big day. Just need to find another excuse to book you guys for the future! Thanks for everything!”
Booked The Legends Collective for a birthday party at The Landmark Hotel, London
“I am so glad we chose Urban Dynamite as they really got the party started and all our guests were on the dance floor. They played all the songs we wanted to hear - we loved that they offered chart songs as well as some old classics. The rap tunes went down a storm!! We loved that they were such an interactive band, the singers came out to have a boogie with us and our guests while they sang. They were polite and professional to deal with from start to finish and we’d highly recommend them to anyone! They’re bloody marvellous!”
“They performed at our wedding and the energy the band brought to the dance floor was electric and everything we could have asked for. We had tons of our guests tell us how the band were one of the best live bands they have seen and we were all impressed at how Katie worked the crowd. Thank you again for making the evening such a blast.”
“5 stars! All the guests loved them. Interactive and adaptive to the crowd. Good DJ action post band. Would book again”
“Thank you so much to Jim & the band. The guests at our wedding loved the entertainment, fantastic set.”
“Where to start? We knew we wanted the perfect band to provide entertainment for our wedding reception and Jupiter Funk exceeded all expectations. From our first dance to the final song they were incredible. All our guests commented on how amazing the music was, and the dance floor was full all night long. During the planning process Joe was great at making sure he knew what 'vibe' we wanted and the band delivered on the night. All our videos/photos show everyone (especially the bride) dancing the night away and we're so glad we chose Jupiter Funk to soundtrack our evening. You will not regret booking them, we certainly didn't!!”
“Soul Republic were amazing - all the songs were great and got people up and dancing. I would definitely recommend.”
