Funk & Soul Bands in Nottinghamshire

Live funk and soul for events in Nottinghamshire

Funk and soul is the sound of a party that works for every generation. Across Nottinghamshire, 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 Nottingham, Newark and Southwell or elsewhere in Nottinghamshire, the bands on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Colwick Hall, Hodsock Priory and Hazel Gap Barn — 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.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every funk and soul act on this page covers Nottinghamshire. Travel is built into the quote, the band brings the PA and lights it needs, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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.

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.
