Reviews of R&B Bands available in Edinburgh

5/5 from 397 reviews
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 (175 miles from Edinburgh) Karen Jones - Festival 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 (245 miles from Edinburgh) 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." Based in Bedford, England (286 miles from Edinburgh) 27th December 2025 Mariam Daniel - Love music hate racism Luton Photo of The New Mojos The New Mojos "I’d like to live a 5 star review for the New Mojo band fronted by Paul and Jo. They played at my wedding at Hever Castle this last summer and did an excellent job. They traveled all the way from Norfolk to Kent. They didn’t only play but they supported us in other ways through the wedding. They all looked amazing and they played beautifully even if we run out of time due to the wedding running late. I’d like to say a very huge thank you to them from the bottom of my heart." Based in Norwich, England (292 miles from Edinburgh) 20th September 2026 Liz - Wedding Photo of Saxy JMusic Saxy JMusic "Excellent professional service . Will definitely use him again" Based in Bristol, England (312 miles from Edinburgh) 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!"

The average cost of hiring R&B bands is £800, with prices from £140 to £3,350+. 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.
