Funk & Soul Bands in Kent
Book a funk and soul band in Kent
Funk and soul is the sound of a party that works for every generation. Across Kent, 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 Kent include Leeds Castle, Goodnestone Park and St Julian's Club, and our funk and soul bands play events across Canterbury, Maidstone and Sevenoaks. Let us know your venue when you enquire and we'll check the band's set-up suits the room.
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 Kent, 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.
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.
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.
