Funk & Soul Bands in Wiltshire

Hire a soul band in Wiltshire

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

Whether your event is near Marlborough, Devizes and Swindon or elsewhere in Wiltshire, the bands on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Winkworth Farm, Barford Park Barn and Bowood House & Gardens — if you're still choosing, it's worth asking where a band would set up and whether there's a sound limiter.

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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The funk and soul bands listed here all travel to Wiltshire, 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

Guest numbers and the size of the room decide most of it. A five-piece is the most popular choice and suits most weddings and parties. For a large ballroom or a crowd of 200 or more, a seven to nine-piece with horns and backing vocals fills the space properly. Tell us the venue and numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

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.

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.
