Funk & Soul Bands in Worcestershire

Funk, soul and Motown bands in Worcestershire

If you want a packed dance floor, funk and soul is one of the safest choices you can make. Bands across Worcestershire play everything from sixties Motown to seventies disco and present-day soul-pop, and they're booked for weddings, office parties and celebrations of every size.

Across Worcestershire, funk and soul bands are booked for events in and around Malvern, Evesham and Bromsgrove. Venues in the area include Birtsmorton Court, Abbey Hotel, Golf & Spa and Old Rectory House — each with function spaces that can take a full band and a dance floor.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every funk and soul band here travels to Worcestershire as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and the quote you receive includes travel — use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

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

A four or five-piece covers the essentials — vocals, guitar, keys, bass and drums — and suits most rooms comfortably. Adding a horn section of saxophone and trumpet, or a second singer for the harmonies, gives you the full Motown and funk sound and suits larger rooms and bigger crowds.

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.

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.
