Funk-Soul Motown Wedding Band
This genre of music has all the right ingredients to light the fuse on your wedding day, bringing the spark that will keep your guests talking about your wedding party well after the lights come up. The rhythms, the tunes, the outfits – these bands are the perfect wedding bands to suit every age and every background. The diversity and pizazz of funk, soul and Motown as music genres make them ideal choices for what they bring to weddings from a musical perspective. With insatiable backing beats punctuated by brass and woodwind, and unforgettable melodies bouncing from song to song, these timeless genres are popular among wedding organisers for a good reason.
A DJ will never bring the unforgettable spectacle or the magic touches that an organic soul, funk and Motown band can. There really is no substitute for a live band that can follow the energy and nail the mood of the guests, and performing those dance floor-filling soul classics.

SOME FAQ
Insurance
All our live funk, soul and Motown bands will have Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and a portable appliance tested (PAT). All our wedding bands can provide these for the venue if it is required.
How long will a soul band perform?
The standard set times for a soul and funk band will be 2 x 60 minutes with around a 20-minute break in between. Most soul and Motown bands will also provide a free DJ service. Prices will include a 6 pm arrival to a midnight finish. Set up time approx 90 minutes.
Do Soul-Motown Bands provide the equipment?
A professional band will be self-contained with a PA and lighting for the performance area.
Space required?
Depending on the line-ups, a 4-piece band would need around 4m x 4m. This space is required, for PA equipment, instruments, and any lighting. Check the venue has enough space before booking any Soul band, and 13 amp plug sockets are available to plug in the equipment.
What will I need to provide?
Soft drinks, and water, plus a buffet-style meal, would be appreciated by the musicians if it is for a wedding, as it will be a long day for them. Check that they can park vehicles in close proximity to the venue. If you are having an event outside, your Soul band will need cover, and an electrical supply. Always check the venue for a sound limiter as it may dictate the wedding band you can hire.
Can the band learn a new song?
Yes, for your first dance or for any special celebration.
Do the band have replacements if needed?
All our bands will have a replacement musician to cover any band member that can not make the day of the event.

A contract will be issued for you and the band for peace of mind. Final payment of the outstanding balance will be required 7 working days before your event.
Some Reviews of our Soul-Motown Bands
FunkStars: “I hired Pritee and her band to headline at a local festival where the attendance was over 13,000. The whole day was a great success – even more so when she started her 40-minute set. Mama Funk was punctual, polite, and professional, and the crowd swelled throughout their performance. 10 out of 10 for every aspect of her performance!”
All Soul band: We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you as the best band ever. You nailed our first dance, and the rest of the music was amazing. You truly made our night special, and we are so pleased we booked you. Thank you once more! Louise (Wedding) 10/10
Just Funk: I have just got back from my honeymoon and wanted to say a big thank you to all and let you know everyone at the wedding has commented on how fantastic you were. Will highly recommend you and if you want a review posting anywhere just let me know. You made our wedding, and it would not have been the same without you, especially the duo during food. Excellent!!!!! Wedding
The Motown Band: Motown and Party band were a superb slick outfit despite being outside by a lake and experiencing lower working temperatures than they are used to. Regardless of the conditions, they produced a superb evening of entertainment thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests. Highly recommended for any occasion. Robert J
The Mowtowners: I booked these fabulous girls for my 50th birthday party. Fantastic performance. Thank you.Andrew Weatherhead (50th party ) 10/10
