Funk & Soul Bands in North Wales

Funk, soul and Motown bands in North Wales

Nothing fills a dance floor quite like a tight funk and soul band. In North Wales, these bands are booked for wedding receptions, company parties, milestone birthdays and charity balls — anywhere the brief is simple: get people up and keep them dancing, from the first Motown classic to the last encore.

North Wales has plenty of places to throw a party, from Plas Dinam and Portmeirion to Plas Dinas Country House. Our funk and soul bands travel right across the area, including Llandudno, Wrexham and Bangor, so wherever you've booked, the band will come to you.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every funk and soul band here travels to North Wales as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and the quote you receive includes travel — use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

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.

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.
