Reviews of Soul Bands available in United Kingdom

5/5 from 951 reviews
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 20th September 2026 Liz - Wedding Photo of Luminous Duo Luminous Duo "We booked the Duo for our wedding in Barcelona. Before the ceremony the Duo were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping finalise the set list for our welcome drinks and cocktail hour and the equipment they would require. We were also fortunate that the Duo learnt our first dance song, sending over a demo well before the ceremony so that we could check that we were comfortable dancing to it. On the day, both Nadine and Lumai were brilliant. They were exactly the style of performer we were looking for, with their bossa-nova sound setting the perfect atmosphere for our guests on their arrival and during our cocktail hour. We’ll always remember that we were fortunate enough to have a live band perform our first dance - thank you so much for making this happen!" Based in London, England 19th September 2026 Grace and Tom - Wedding 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 8th August 2026 Jaslyn E. - Wedding Photo of The Cheers The Cheers "The Cheers played our wedding on 4th July 2026 in Greenwich London and were fantastic. Everyone had a great time and commented how good the music was. For us the interaction was easy in the build up to the day. Communication was clear and the band were very accommodating with music choices, learning our first dance and music schedule. When you’re organising many things is nice to work with people that are friendly and helpful. One highlight for us was our 8 year old daughter joining the band on stage to sing love story. It was a lovely memory for her and us as a family and we a thankful to the band for allowing that impromptu moment. In short - we would definitely recommend The Cheers for weddings and any other functions for that matter." Based in Guildford, England 4th August 2026 Toby & Natalie - Wedding July 2026 Photo of The WeegieBeats The WeegieBeats "Fantastic experience all round…the band were so professional as well as being excellent musicians and the set list appealed to all ages at the party. Everyone was up dancing and all the guests mentioned how excellent the band were. We also had a sax set which was beautiful. Finally the band were so friendly and made my birthday celebration a brilliant event. Thank you so much." Based in Glasgow, Scotland 29th July 2026 Hannah - 40th birthday Photo of Midé Midé "We had Midé at the weekend for our church wedding at the weekend, and I cannot recommend him enough. His communication prior to the wedding was amazing, he couldn’t have been more helpful. He went above and beyond on the day and his performance was even better than I knew it would be! Many of our guests told us it was their favourite party of the day watching him perform. If you’re looking for a performer for your wedding, he is a MUST. Thank you for making our day so special Midé" Based in London, England 27th July 2026 Liz East - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring soul bands typically costs between £190 and £2,650+, with an average of £850. 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The soul bands in United Kingdom 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.
