Funk & Soul Bands in West Sussex

Hire a soul band in West Sussex

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

West Sussex has plenty of places to throw a party, from Cowdray Estate and Cissbury Barns to Upwaltham Barns. Our funk and soul bands travel right across the area, including Horsham, Crawley and Worthing, so wherever you've booked, the band will come to you.

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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The funk and soul bands listed here all travel to West Sussex, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound and lighting. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

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.

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.
