5/5 from 417 reviews
Photo of The Crowd Pleasers The Crowd Pleasers "The Crowd Pleasers were pneunominal! We arrange a gig night last minute and they were our headline act and did not let us down. They were incredible, all so talented and had an amazing presence on stage. Their set list included an array of songs that got everyone dancing on their feet. Not only this, but they help us out to ensure we had all we need to make the night successful. They are all just so wonderful. I can not wait to watch them again and hopefully we will have The Crowd Pleasers at another event." Based in Newquay, England, United Kingdom (185 miles from Carlow) Kevin Allen - Mikes Trust Photo of Cooper and the Makerfields Cooper and the Makerfields "I have seen Cooper and the Makerfields numerous times now. They are a fantastic well established blues/jazz/roots band. They have completed many local venues, and this summer have played at four festivals. They also have played for a number of charities without taking payment. Lovely guys. They never fail to be asked to play an encore. No venue is too big, or too small. The band adapts to the venues needs." Based in Manchester, England, United Kingdom (199 miles from Carlow) Karen Jones - Festival Photo of Saxy JMusic Saxy JMusic "Excellent professional service . Will definitely use him again" Based in Bristol, England, United Kingdom (207 miles from Carlow) Violet - 50th Birthday Celebration Photo of Char 'n B Char 'n B "The band were very accommodating with timings in the lead up to and on the day. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night and we had so many people say how great and fun the band were. Would highly recommend for any event!" Based in Bristol, England, United Kingdom (207 miles from Carlow) Katie D - Birthday Party Photo of Sensational Violin Sensational Violin "Roksana was absolutely phenomenal! I booked her for our engagement party. We came up with a playlist together a month before and as soon as she started playing everyone jaw's dropped! We will definitely book Roksana for our wedding day, she gave us such incredible evening! Highly Recommended" Based in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom (212 miles from Carlow) James - Proposal 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."

The average cost of hiring R&B bands is €900, with prices from €170 to €4,000+. The main pricing factors are the number of musicians, performance duration and whether the band includes horn players and backing vocalists. Larger R&B line-ups with brass sections and multiple singers typically cost more than stripped-back combos.

The R&B bands perform rhythm and blues, neo-soul, contemporary R&B and classic soul music. Many bands cover hits from artists spanning several decades, from Motown through to modern R&B, creating a smooth and groovy setlist.

Many clients book R&B bands for weddings, corporate parties, birthday celebrations, gala dinners and private functions. R&B music creates a sophisticated yet soulful atmosphere that works for both relaxed dining and energetic dancing.

The R&B bands on Gig Heaven range from small three or four-piece groups to larger ensembles with backing singers and horn sections. A bigger line-up delivers a richer, fuller sound. Many bands offer flexible sizing to suit different events and budgets.

Most R&B bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger events, additional equipment may be required. Gig Heaven recommends confirming technical requirements with the band before booking.
