Soul & Motown Bands For Hire
Nothing gets people singing and clapping along with quite as much joy as soul music – so if this sounds like the kind of gig you and your guests can get down to, book one of Bands for Hire's soul and Motown bands!
You can't go wrong with a genre who can boast such legendary performers as James Brown, Ray Charles, Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin amongst its biggest names! Our soul and Motown wedding bands for hire encompass the distinctive sounds of such iconic labels as Stax, Motown, Northern Soul and Atlantic, so look out for hits from the Four Tops, the Supremes, the Temptations and many other best selling artists from the sixties.
Soul Wedding Bands
Our soul wedding bands endeavour to bring you the most legitimate soul experience available today, often by using vintage equipment and incorporating traditional soul arrangements – so if you're looking for a big band with brass sections, backing singers and backing dancers, you're in the right part of town! With soul music having its roots in gospel music, as well as jazz and rhythm and blues, a big part of our soul bands' performance is to include everyone and encourage them to join them in celebration – and with a stage full of smiling, singing and dancing, it's impossible to resist!
Motown Tribute Bands
We do have a few soul and Motown tribute bands who model themselves closely after some of the genre's most famous acts, just to make your experience all the more special. Fans of the Supremes, the Shangri-Las and the Ronettes will love our girl groups, complete with beehive hairdos and wiggle dresses. We also have some authentically dapper backing bands, who up the ante for even our most flamboyant frontmen and women as they sway from side to side in their sharp suits without breaking a sweat, let alone missing a beat.
Book a Soul Band for your Event
We're interested as much in versatility as we are in authenticity at Bands for Hire – and, as such, we're delighted to be able to offer you a range of talented soul, R&B and Motown bands who apply their signature sound to songs outside their given genre. Guests at your event who aren't as well versed in the soul tradition – be it a wedding reception, private function, charity event, corporate event, graduation, store opening or office party – will be swept away by the pure exuberance and energy of the performers, especially when our Motown bands for hire throw such soul-tinged curveballs as Kasabian, Hall & Oates, Drake and Fleetwood Mac songs your way!
Soul Bands For Hire
We are home to many fantastic soul bands for hire, and they come in many shapes and forms. We have some bands with as many as 9 or 10 members, but this wouldn't suit every venue, or every budget for that matter. Being the flexible and accommodating agency that we are, we feel that every party deserves the opportunity to have its spirits lifted by a bit of soul. Therefore, we also offer acts that are more along the lines of Motown singers who perform to backing tracks, as well as our equally accommodating soul bands offering different line ups (e.g. limiting themselves to one vocalist, or forgoing the brass section) depending on what your requirements are for your event.
