Reviews from local events in Yorkshire

Hi Sam, Lee and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for playing at our wedding. You were all truly amazing and we will forever remember the music and your professionalism. Your talent is truly remarkable and everyone embraced it. We sincerely apologise for not saying goodbye and thank you on the night but we just got swept up in the moment. Thank you again, Julia & Lee O’Neill xxx

We booked Roameo for our annual charity ball after a colleague who had seen them at another event recommended them. Safe to say they didn't disappoint. They were all absolutely lovely and brought so much energy on the night. They bring the perfect balance of fun and genuinely great music. Rio also agreed to play along with a little surprise that we had planned for our guests on the night! He was a great sport and did a fab job. Thanks so much to the whole band, you were fab and we'd love to work with you again in future.

What a brilliant night we had on Saturday! Sam and the guys were amazing, their music had everyone up dancing. Great mix of old and new, with a bit of Bowie, Stevie and Timberlake - fantastic. Hadn't seen the brass players before, such a great addition. So good to see a band thoroughly enjoying what they do. Gutted I didn't know about them before we got married would've definitely had them play at our wedding! Excellent gig - can't wait for the next one! x

Scintillate were amazing and due to a medical issue on the day had to work around us as things ran rather late, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed their sets, got every single guest up dancing and all-round fabulous evening. Many many thanks x

A really tight live band with amazing singers, perfect for our wedding and they got so many rave reviews from our guests who danced their heart out. They kindly played our requested song for our first dance and were high energy from the start, really bringing the party. Communication easy throughout and great people to work with. Thanks so much!

Full House are exceptional! I booked them for my wedding and am so pleased that I did. The communication was easy and helpful. I was able to select which songs and genres of music we wanted for our evening celebrations from a very long and eclectic list provided by the band. Each song was performed with enthusiasm and incredible talent. The videos really do not do them justice! Our guests all commented on how great they were. The dance floor was always full. If you are considering booking them, just do it. You will be so pleased you did!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Benji was incredible in the lead-up - keeping in touch and responding to any questions fully and thoroughly. On the actual day of our wedding, the band fully got the brief and it was beyond any expectations we had. They got every single person at the wedding dancing from the first set and the second set was like the best nightclub I've ever been to. We had multiple comments that the mashup kings were the best wedding band they had ever seen - I would 1000% second that. If you're considering booking them, dont think twice. Thank you so much for the most memorable day!!!

The Millionaire Showband were absolutely incredible at our wedding! We danced the night away with many guests who wouldn’t usually dance! This all happened because of their fantastic performance and showmanship. Such a tight band with great chemistry and we would book them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our evening so very special.

These guys were fantastic! On a practical level, they set up very fast, had an awesome set up with lights for dance floor etc, and they looked super sharp! On a musical level, they were superb. They did a belting version of "Show Me Love", and lots of funk and soul, with a great, tight rhythm section and two charismatic singers who knew how to get everyone moving! The dancefloor was full throughout - amazing work!! :D thank you all!

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.
