5/5 from 590 reviews
Photo of 8-Bit Funk 8-Bit Funk "Big thank you to 8-Bit for putting on a great show. The band were super accommodating, really well organized, very communicative. They did a great job of playing background jazz at a birthday and of course all the nostalgic gaming hits. Both young(5-15) and old(40 yr olds) loved it" Based in Dublin, Leinster 22nd September 2026 Jonny - Birthday Photo of Toneacious Soul Toneacious Soul "Toneacity entertainment are just simply incredible! Tony is the easiest guy to get on with and he knows exactly how to get everyone out of their seats and on to the dancefloor! All the band members are true professionals with unbelievable talents, but they're also a hell of a lot of fun! 1000% would recommend!" Based in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom Victoria Cornwell - Private Event Photo of Justin Holcroft Justin Holcroft "Justin’s performance was intimate and stunning at the same time. Great communication, very effective preparation and coverage by someone who can play the sax, from Jazz, swing to lounge and bar background music. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in high-quality, paired with a down-to-earth mindset and to-the-point delivery." Based in Audley, England, United Kingdom 27th May 2026 Axel Dewitz - Birthday Celebration, Reception Photo of Aiden Grimshaw Aiden Grimshaw "Aiden and co helped make our day truly magical. Such talented musicians with beautiful arrangements and unusual covers. Aiden's voice was rich and soulful and the whole process of booking with them was a delight. Thank you so much!" Based in Manchester, England, United Kingdom Natasha Martone - Private wedding Photo of The Session Band The Session Band "We hired The Session Band for our wedding in Devon. They were brilliant throughout the whole process from enquiry, to booking, to performing. Before the booking, they also gave us other options to add on if we wanted. Once we booked, they sent over their website with their library of songs. We picked a few we liked and they then built their set from that. They also agreed to play our first dance song that we requested. The band were great when they arrived and were accommodating with us as we were slightly behind schedule. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had so many positive comments from them. In between the band sets we also went for the DJ and Saxophone option, which were great at getting people dancing towards the end of the night. Overall a brilliant experience and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band." Based in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom 3rd November 2025 Aiden Shearer - Wedding Photo of Miz Terrell Miz Terrell "Miz performed with out band when our singer was out for a gig and she did the gig very well, she was very engaging to the audience and sounded great. Not all of the set we had suited her style but we were able to adjust and play songs that suited her. Miz Terrell is a good singer and performer." Based in Dudley, England, United Kingdom 6th April 2026 Julian Powell - Midnight Crossing (Band)

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from €170 to €3,150+, with an average of €1,000. The main factors are band size, set duration and the style of funk. Line-ups with horn sections, backing vocalists and percussion tend to cost more than smaller guitar-driven combos.

The funk bands for hire perform funk, soul, disco, R&B and groove-driven music. Many funk bands cover classic hits alongside modern songs, creating a setlist that is focused on tight rhythms, brass hooks and getting the audience dancing.

Hiring funk bands is a popular choice for weddings, corporate parties, birthday celebrations, festivals and any event where a packed dance floor is the goal. Funk music has a broad, cross-generational appeal and is one of the most effective genres for keeping guests on their feet.

The funk bands on Gig Heaven range from compact four-piece groups to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and percussion. A bigger line-up delivers a fuller, more powerful sound, while a smaller band can suit tighter venues and budgets. Many bands offer flexible line-up options.

Most funk bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming all technical requirements with the band before booking.

Not always. Four and five-piece groups often work without one, leaning on guitar, keys and a strong rhythm section, while the larger acts carry brass as the defining sound. Horns cost more and need more stage, so the question is usually budget and space rather than repertoire.

Volume is manageable in most function rooms, as bands set up smaller and play with lighter dynamics when the space calls for it. Rooms with a noise limiter are the real constraint, particularly for drums and brass, which cannot be turned down the way amplified instruments can. Give the limiter level when enquiring and the band will say whether the booking works.

Most carry a playlist to run through their PA during breaks so the room does not fall quiet. Some will also take a list of tracks to use in those gaps. Where the gap matters, such as during a meal, agree the break times when booking rather than on the night.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
