Funk & Soul Bands in Surrey

Hire a soul band in Surrey

Nothing fills a dance floor quite like a tight funk and soul band. In Surrey, 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.

Across Surrey, funk and soul bands are booked for events in and around Dorking, Farnham and Woking. Venues in the area include Pembroke Lodge, Millbridge Court and Ramster Hall — each with function spaces that can take a full band and a dance floor.

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.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every funk and soul act on this page covers Surrey. 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

Horns are what make funk and soul sound like the records. A band with saxophone and trumpet, or a full three-piece section, gives the biggest sound and suits a large function room. For smaller venues or tighter budgets, a four or five-piece with a strong singer still delivers the songs with plenty of energy.

A four or five-piece typically starts from around £1,000, while an eight or nine-piece with horns can reach £3,500 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, PA and lighting, so it won't change once you've booked.

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.
