Funk & Soul Bands in Cheshire

Hire a soul band in Cheshire

If you want a packed dance floor, funk and soul is one of the safest choices you can make. Bands across Cheshire play everything from sixties Motown to seventies disco and present-day soul-pop, and they're booked for weddings, office parties and celebrations of every size.

Whether your event is near Chester, Macclesfield and Nantwich or elsewhere in Cheshire, the bands on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Capesthorne Hall, Arley Hall & Gardens and Styal Lodge — if you're still choosing, it's worth asking where a band would set up and whether there's a sound limiter.

Funk and soul covers a lot of ground. Some bands focus on classic Motown and Northern Soul, others on seventies funk and disco with a full horn section, and some mix in modern soul and chart hits given a funky treatment. A few minutes watching their videos will tell you which feel fits your crowd.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The funk and soul bands listed here all travel to Cheshire, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound and lighting. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

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.

A four or five-piece typically starts from around £1,000, while an eight or nine-piece with horns can reach £3,500 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, PA and lighting, so it won't change once you've booked.

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.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
