Reviews of Soul Bands available in Margate

5/5 from 836 reviews
Photo of Project F Project F "Project F were unbelievable, from start to finish. The song choices were spot on, they sounded incredible, their presence was brilliant and they kept everyone dancing all night. Plus, to top it off, they were all such lovely people who kept in touch with you from booking them, all the way up to the event, asking if there were certain songs we wanted or how we wanted them to set up or what to wear etc. We couldn’t recommend Project F enough. They were truly fantastic!!" Based in Margate, England 18th October 2026 Curtis - Wedding Booker Photo of Wully Bully Soul Band Wully Bully Soul Band "Went to a dog show in Weeley, Essex and Wully Bully were performing. Fantastic band, absolutely spot on with instruments and vocals. They played Cockney rebel and a few of the audience started dancing and didn't stop. Well impressed." Based in Clacton-on-Sea, England (30 miles from Margate) Trevor Redburn - 17th September 2022 Festival Photo of Pharaoh & The Beats Pharaoh & The Beats "Pharaoh and the Beats played for my 21st and they literally made the night! Guests were up and dancing by the second song of the set and we didn't stop dancing all night. They were friendly and professional and sounded incredible! Great song choices as well. I want another party just so I can book them again!" Based in Braintree, England (50 miles from Margate) Grace - 21st Birthday Party Photo of Version Collective Version Collective "Hire them for every celebration. They are always incredible and everyone who hears them will hire them too! Zaz has the most incredible voice: soulful, heartfelt, inspiring, funky, beautiful. My wife is a singer so it was always going to be a chore picking the right singer/band for our wedding but after hearing Version play our decision was simple. Version are INCREDIBLE. Zaz is so easy to plan events with. She and her whole band travelled up to the Highlands in Scotland for our wedding and made everything so easy for us. They were in budget, learnt specific songs for our special day and made the whole event bespoke and specific to our needs. We had them as an acoustic two piece for both the church ceremony and post-wedding lawn cocktails, before having the whole 4 piece band give three sets in the evening. Picking songs from their catalogue is so much fun, they are all bangers and performed impeccably by all. Since introducing Version to our friends and family, we have been to at least 5 weddings where they have performed with more in the pipe line. My best man had them for his 30th and 40th birthday celebrations. My wife and I got them back for our 40th birthday parties too. We have travelled to restaurants miles away just to hear them perform. You could say we are BIG VERSION FANS." Based in City of Westminster, England (65 miles from Margate) Ben (& Lucinda) Thomas - Loyal customer - birthdays, weddings, anniversary 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 (66 miles from Margate) 19th September 2026 Grace and Tom - Wedding 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 (66 miles from Margate) 27th July 2026 Liz East - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring soul bands typically costs between £170 and £2,900+, 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.

The soul bands for hire 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
