Funk & Soul Bands in the West Midlands

Funk and soul bands across the West Midlands

From Kenilworth, Shrewsbury, Stratford-upon-Avon, Worcester, Sutton Coldfield and Stafford, the West Midlands has a huge choice of venues and a busy calendar of wedding receptions, corporate parties and big birthdays. The funk and soul bands on this page cover the whole region, and many play several dates a month within it.

Our listings for the West Midlands take in Birmingham, Coventry, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.

Venues across the West Midlands include The Old Hall Hotel, Wilde Lodge, The Riverside Glasshouse, Redhouse Barn, Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens and Ingestre Hall. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

Across the West Midlands you can choose from Motown, disco, funk and classic soul line-ups, many with brass. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched acts with clients right across the country. The funk and soul bands here all cover the West Midlands and include PA, lighting and travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

What to know:

• Budget £1,000 to £3,500 for most bookings
• Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel
• Travel within the West Midlands is never added on later
• Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
• Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A smaller line-up suits an intimate room or a venue with a sound limiter, while a larger act fills a ballroom or marquee. Tell us the venue and numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Most bookings fall between £1,000 and £3,500. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in the West Midlands.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

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.
