Funk & Soul Bands in Blackpool

Hire a soul band in Blackpool

Funk and soul is the sound of a party that works for every generation. Across Blackpool, bands playing Motown, Stax, disco and modern soul are booked for weddings, Christmas parties, awards nights and big birthdays, because grandparents and twenty-somethings will both know the songs and both want to dance.

Popular event venues in Blackpool include Grand Hotel Blackpool, The Norbreck Castle Hotel and Savoy Hotel, and our funk and soul bands play events across Fleetwood, Thornton-Cleveleys and Poulton-le-Fylde. Let us know your venue when you enquire and we'll check the band's set-up suits the room.

Within funk and soul there's a real choice: sixties Motown and Stax, seventies funk and disco, eighties soul-pop, or current soul and neo-soul. Most bands move between these across the night, but each has its own emphasis, and their song lists show it clearly.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every funk and soul act on this page covers Blackpool. Travel is built into the quote, the band brings the PA and lights it needs, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

• Typical cost: from around £1,000 for a smaller line-up to £3,500 or more for a large band with horns, depending on date and set times
• Line-ups from four-piece bands to eight or nine-piece bands with a full horn section
• Two live sets plus a DJ playlist between and after sets as standard with most bands
• Travel, PA and lighting are included in every quote
• Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Check the room size and any sound limiter before you choose. A compact four-piece can play at a controlled volume in smaller rooms, while bigger line-ups with horns need more floor space and power. Many bands also offer an acoustic set for a drinks reception before the main evening sets.

Most funk and soul bookings fall between about £1,000 and £3,500. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, especially horns and extra singers, followed by the date — Saturdays in summer and December are the busiest. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every band's page has live video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, their full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the energy and the sound before you commit.
