Funk & Soul Bands in Hull & East Yorkshire

Funk, soul and Motown bands in Hull & East Yorkshire

Funk and soul is the sound of a party that works for every generation. Across Hull & East Yorkshire, 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.

Whether your event is near Bridlington, Hull and Howden or elsewhere in Hull & East Yorkshire, the bands on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Rise Hall, Carlton Towers and Burtonfields Hall — 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 Hull & East Yorkshire, 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

A four or five-piece covers the essentials — vocals, guitar, keys, bass and drums — and suits most rooms comfortably. Adding a horn section of saxophone and trumpet, or a second singer for the harmonies, gives you the full Motown and funk sound and suits larger rooms and bigger crowds.

Expect to pay from around £1,000 for a four-piece up to £3,500 or more for a large band with a horn section. Line-up size matters most, then the date and any extras such as an early acoustic set or a later finish. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

Rather than a generic demo, each band's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio, a song list and client reviews. Between them you'll get a clear sense of the sound and the show well before the day.
