Well done :-) Regards, Life’s Too Short Bar 2024 Winner "Restaurant & Bar of the Year in Australia" Travel & Hospitality Awards" Based in Melbourne, Victoria (40 miles from Geelong) Sigrid D - 'Hipster' bar Photo of The Martini Set The Martini Set "With the smooth sounds of the Martini Set, our corporate guests had a fabulous event and loved to dance the night away. Such an easy group to work with, we loved their music and their happy attitude. Have used them a few times and suggest you BOOK THEM or your event." Based in Melbourne, Victoria (40 miles from Geelong) Carol - Ke.Creative Events Photo of Nesian Melody Band Nesian Melody Band "Aww bro thank you so much to you and your talented band for playing at our wedding. Everyone enjoyed it so much and kept asking what’s the name of your band😅" Based in Melbourne, Victoria (40 miles from Geelong) Misela Lolopa - Wedding Photo of The Downtowners The Downtowners "Thank you all so much for the excellent entertainment you gave us at the Christmas function. I wasn't sure what to expect but you all knew the great songs to play and please everyone that was there. I especially loved the jazzed up versions of the Christmas songs! Thank you again and we hope to have you back." Based in Melbourne, Victoria (40 miles from Geelong) Joanne Bracken - Australia Post Christmas party Photo of The Graduates The Graduates "We recently hired The Graduates for our corporate event to provide jazz music during our cocktail event. Mike was super helpful easy to deal with in the lead up to the event, and the band were fantastic on the night and our guests loved the music! Highly recommended, we will definitely be using them for our next event." Based in Sydney, New South Wales (483 miles from Geelong) 27th July 2026 Cherish - Corporate Event Photo of Slumberjacks Slumberjacks "The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times. But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music." Based in Sydney, New South Wales (483 miles from Geelong) 14th July 2026 Loren - Birthday

Frequently asked questions

Hiring soul bands typically costs between $280 and $6,500+, with an average of $1,600. The price depends on the number of band members, performance duration and whether the line-up includes a horn section and backing vocalists. Larger soul ensembles with brass and multiple singers typically cost more than smaller combos.

The soul bands on Gig Heaven range from compact trios and quartets to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and full rhythm sections. A bigger line-up delivers the powerful, rich soul sound, while smaller groups suit tighter budgets and venues.

Most soul bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger events, additional equipment may be needed. For the best experience, confirm technical details with the band before booking.

Hiring soul bands is a popular choice for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, gala dinners and private celebrations. Soul music has broad, cross-generational appeal and is one of the most reliable genres for filling a dance floor.

A smaller group leans on voice and rhythm, so brass-driven material is either rearranged or left out. Larger line-ups cover the catalogue much as recorded, which matters when particular songs have to be in the set. Naming those songs is the quickest way to find out which size suits.

A four or five-piece with a strong singer fills most function rooms, and the difference at that size is closer to weight than to energy. Larger rooms and higher guest numbers are where the extra players start to matter. Guest numbers and the room are a better guide to this than the size of the budget.

Some acts work with a fixed singer and others draw from a small pool, so it is worth asking which applies before booking. Where a specific voice matters, naming it at the enquiry stage is the only way to secure it. Acts that rotate singers will normally say so and can often send recordings of each.

The soul bands in Geelong, Victoria, Australia perform classic and contemporary soul music, often blending Motown, funk, R&B and disco into their sets. Many soul bands cover well-known hits from artists spanning several decades, creating a feel-good, dance-friendly setlist.
