Reviews of R&B Bands based near Preston

5/5 from 4 reviews
Photo of Boogie Nights Boogie Nights "Such a great band, sound fabulous, music that gets you up to dance too. Highly recommend to go and see." Based in Liverpool, England (27 miles from Preston) Viviene Gibney - Fleetwood Hesketh Southport Photo of Young Lionel Young Lionel "I don't usually write reviews unless something is exceptional. I recently had the pleasure of seeing and listening to Young Lionell at one of his performances. What a fantastic show he put on for the guests. He was extremely professional and great vocals. He brought the party alive and I would have no hesitation to recommending him. Thankyou Young Lionell. Hope we will see you again" Based in Manchester, England (27 miles from Preston) Mr S Littleworth 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 (27 miles from Preston) 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 (95 miles from Preston) James - Proposal Photo of Ricky Cool & The In Crowd Ricky Cool & The In Crowd "It was a fantastic night. They can’t wait to hear you and the band again." Based in Birmingham, England (95 miles from Preston) The Dragon Theatre, Barmouth 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 (146 miles from Preston) 27th December 2025 Mariam Daniel - Love music hate racism Luton

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring R&B bands is £750, with prices from £140 to £3,000+. 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.
