Funk & Soul Bands in North Yorkshire

Hire a soul band in North Yorkshire

If you want a packed dance floor, funk and soul is one of the safest choices you can make. Bands across North Yorkshire 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.

Popular event venues in North Yorkshire include Middleton Lodge, Howard Court and Crayke Manor, and our funk and soul bands play events across Scarborough, Ripon and Harrogate. Let us know your venue when you enquire and we'll check the band's set-up suits the room.

Not every soul band sounds the same. You'll find Motown revue-style acts with sharp suits and harmonies, funk bands built around bass, drums and horns, disco specialists, and bands who blend soul classics with recent hits. Knowing the mood you're after makes comparing them much easier.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every funk and soul band here travels to North Yorkshire 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

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.

Each funk and soul band's page carries real live video, audio, a set list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how a band works a dance floor than any description can.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
