Hi Voxxy, I just wanted to thank you. I loved your performance, everyone did, it was just amazing. Thank you so much for making our party so much fun!

WHAT A PERFORMANCE! I can't thank the band more, every step was carefully planned, professionally executed and boy, do they deliver on the night! Absolutely amazing band, great party atmosphere and would 100% recommend and book again. Thank you.

Our friends and family were just blown away by how incredible you were. I mean, we knew you would be great but you couldn’t have been more fabulous. Without you, our wedding would not have been as special.

We had a fab time all night. When the DJ started playing everyone was up anyway but when she came on it just lifted the atmosphere for me and my friends and we danced all night. I struggled to find anyone who was doing the kind of music I like but she had loads of songs we knew and smashed them live. Really impressive and really friendly, I highly recommend her!

I hired Red Shift for my 50th birthday bash. They were very professional indeed, they were on site, set up and out of the way before my guests arrived. From the moment they started playing they had my friends and family on the dance floor. However, the biggest surprise was that my partner told them that I was a huge Gary Numan fan and despite them being a soul and R&B band, they learnt a Gary Numan song just for me and even let me sing it with the band, what a fantastic gesture, that really made my night!! The days that followed I was asked multiple times who the band was, and I was more than happy to pass on their details. I wouldn’t think twice about booking these guys again for any future celebration. If you are thinking of booking them, just do it, you won’t be disappointed.

Hi Gavin, I just wanted to say a quick thank you for performing at our wedding last Friday at the Isla Gladstone. You were phenomenal throughout and a true professional. Somehow you managed to get guests up onto the dance floor who would not normally be there which is inspiring. I genuinely lost count of the number of guests that came up to me to say how good you and the band were so I think you may have a few more fans now! Thanks also for bringing the sax player along also as he definitely added to the night. We saw you originally at the Spinningfields festival and I'll certainly be looking out for more public dates. Thanks again, you made our night! Andy & Gemma.

We just wanted to say that we thought you were wonderful at our wedding - the guests loved the band, the sets were really upbeat and fun. Thank you especially for being so patient with us and checking our preferences - it was great for the day to be so easy in areas like that. A special thanks for accommodating Charlie to sing a song with you - while we missed it (and are gutted about that) apparently it went really well. It was a lovely accommodation for which we are grateful. Overall it was just a brilliant experience and we wanted to wish you the very best of luck for the future.

Sam and the band were absolutely brilliant for our wedding. We saw them a few months back to scope out their skills and we were more than impressed. So much so we asked for additional band members to make the day even more special. The band's professionalism and care to detail was fantastic and we could not have asked for anything more. All of our guests seemed to have enjoyed Full House and were constantly asking for their details - most of our Guestbook includes the band being the best bit about the day & my sisters were too busy being infatuated with Sam to even write in the book! The best bit was the surprise they gave us - it made the day even more special. Thank you all so much you were amazing, see you soon. (For those debating about booking these guys, just do it. You won't be disappointed).

Soul City Fusion played at our wedding in Manchester with such great energy and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. They got everyone on the dance floor with their funky music. She is an incredibly talented singer, professional and efficient from start to finish.

Hi Gavin, Just wanted to say a quick thank you!!! Everyone is buzzing about how good you were in the day and how fab you and the band were at night! I believe I succeeded in persuading my friend Emma to book you for her wedding too. We will be adding a good review to Facebook, but just wanted to say thanks for creating such a fab atmosphere!

Hi Voxxy.. What can I say apart from WOW! You made our day, you truly did, we honestly cannot thank you both enough for the beautiful daytime music and evening performances. All of our friends and family said what an amazing night they had simply down to the entertainment. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Lots of people who weren’t there but have seen clips from videos uploaded on Facebook are asking for your details for their own weddings and functions. Massive hugs and thanks for everything.

Some FAQs About Hiring an R&B Band for Your Wedding or Party...

What does an R&B wedding band perform?

The R&B wedding bands on FixTheMusic play a variety of music in this style featuring a range of artists including Kanye West, Bruno Mars, R Kelly, Justin Timberlake and Ceelo Green. Most R&B cover and tribute bands will also include in their set list songs from other styles of music as well as R n B, including hip hop, UK garage, reggae, pop, rock, soul and Motown. You might also be looking for an urban wedding band – perfect for cool city weddings.

Can you also provide UK garage wedding bands?

The UK is home to many wedding bands that specialise in UK garage music. The Young Bucks, for example, have an incredible garage medley that features Do You Really Like It? (British garage music group DJ Pied Piper and the Masters of Ceremonies), Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta) by Artful Dodger, featuring Craig David on vocals, Movin' Too Fast, Gotta Get Thru This, 21 Seconds (So Solid Crew) – all combined with their trademark rapping and reggae fusion. So if you're looking for a UK garage wedding band, get in touch!

How much does an R&B / hip hop wedding band cost to hire?

The average price of an R&B wedding band for hire on FixTheMusic is £1,685. R&B bands tend to cost more than the average UK wedding band as they often feature more instruments and vocalists than a regular pop covers band so that they can cover the full range of R&B and soul hits.

Should I hire an R&B band for my wedding?

Yes! We've noticed a big trend in recent years for discerning clients to choose an R&B wedding band for their big day. The UK's best R&B bands are made up of some of the most in-demand session musicians and singers in the country, who have often toured with celebrity singers across Europe and the rest of the world. Booking an R&B band or hip hop band for your own wedding is guaranteed to ensure a cool edge that most other bands can't provide. At FixTheMusic we have some of the UK's best hip hop bands for hire, as well as specialist RnB groups.

Why have RnB wedding bands become so popular in recent years?

Couples these days are looking for something a bit different to the tried-and-tested wedding covers band of recent years. Couples getting married in their early 30s were children of the 90s, so they want music that reflects their personal music tastes, be that 90s kitsch pop such as Britney Spears and various boy bands, to Britpop, Garage, Hip Hop and American heavy metal such as Greenday, Metallica and Guns N' Roses, as well as RnB covers.

How long do the R&B bands perform for?

As is standard for wedding or corporate entertainment, most live RnB bands will provide around 2 hours of live music. This is often split into 2 x 60 minute sets, or 3 x 40 minute sets. The bands will provide background music (a "laptop DJ service") in between the live music. Most bands arrive at the venue at around 5pm and expect to finish by 12 midnight.

Is it possible to see the RnB bands perform live before I book?

It's often not possible to see the RnB bands perform live before you book them for your wedding or event. Most professional wedding bands rarely perform at public gigs, as most of their bookings are at private events such as weddings and corporate events. It is possible from time to time though, so feel free to ask your band and they'll let you know if they have any public gigs coming up.

Will an RnB band be suitable for my wedding?

RnB bands bring a unique flavour to wedding receptions. Their size usually means they provide a visual spectacle to the evening's entertainment. And the range of songs covered by such bands (from soul to pop, funk and maybe even some rock), means there is usually something for each of your wedding guests. Of course, couples will want guests of all ages to enjoy the wedding music, so bands that specialise in 90s genres (90s wedding bands) generally also perform some classic covers from the 50s to the 80s. Some of our RnB / hip hop wedding bands also feature rappers or singers who can rap – the perfect addition to a live band.

Where do your R&B wedding bands perform in the UK?

Our R&B wedding bands perform throughout the UK and internationally. FixTheMusic specialises in providing bands and singers for destination weddings across Europe, especially in France, Spain and Italy. Closer to home, although the majority of our R&B bands are based in London, they are also available across the UK – including in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Brighton, Sheffield, York, Wales and Scotland.
