Photo of Soul75 Soul75 "The band had great chemistry on stage and performed each song to a high level. The singers in particular were great, especially at getting the crowd going and getting people up on the dancefloor." Based in Hemel Hempstead, England (9 miles from Luton) Chloe - Company party Photo of Let’s Get It On - The Motown Experience Let’s Get It On - The Motown Experience "Saw this band in November and they filled the dance floor! Really fantastic evening had by all. I highly recommend them" Based in Stevenage, England (9 miles from Luton) Emma Purvey - The Cannon - ticketed event Photo of Wiseiris Wiseiris "I've seen wiseiris perform before and he also is based near us. It was a no brainer to hire him for our event. Communication leading up to the event was perfect with everything laid out. He arrived early to the venue for soundcheck and delivered an amazing set. If you want a multi talented musician with songs you can feel I would recommend wiseiris in a heart beat and we can't wait to have him back to perform for us in 2026." Based in Bedford, England (18 miles from Luton) 27th December 2025 Mariam Daniel - Love music hate racism Luton Photo of Soul Vibe Band Soul Vibe Band "We hired Soul Vibe Band to play our wedding, and they were fantastic! Kainy who was our contact was very helpful in the lead up to the wedding and was a pleasure to work with, and they even arranged something especially for our first dance, which we hugely appreciated. They keep the energy up and put on a great set, and for a six piece band were exceptionally reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for their own wedding band!" Based in Acton, England (26 miles from Luton) Francis & Hayley Robson - Private Wedding Photo of New Colours New Colours "We had New Colours play at The Queens Head and they were absolutely incredible. The range of music they played was phenomenal and they kept everyone entertained all night. They had everyone in the pub dancing and singing. Every song they did was amazing. Absolute little gem of a band. So much so, I am having them play in my other pub. Would highly recommend hiring them for the evening. An absolute pleasure to have them. Thank you so much for making the night so successful." Based in London, England (29 miles from Luton) 2nd November 2026 Stefanie Lambie, The Queens Head, Winchmore Hill, London N21 - Concert Photo of D.Banana Band D.Banana Band "We were absolutely thrilled to have this band play at our wedding reception! We requested reggae love songs because my partner and I both love old school reggae and their reggae rhythms were infectious, everyone was up dancing from the very first song, young and old. They played such a perfect mix of classic and well-loved tunes also. They sounded amazing, and were so professional and friendly throughout .They really made our day feel so special and joyful, we can’t recommend them enough! Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories." Based in London, England (29 miles from Luton) 8th August 2026 Jaslyn E. - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from £150 to £2,550+, with an average of £750. 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.
