Soul and Motown Bands

It goes without saying that our Soul and Motown bands for hire will play big party tunes by the likes of Marvin Gaye, The Supremes and Ray Charles. To keep things fresh and up to date, they'll also play party-starting hits by the likes of Pharrell Williams, Bruno Mars and Beyoncé. Guests of all ages love the repertoires of these bands, making them suitable for every event.

Soul and Motown bands generally have larger line-ups than other types of band and for this reason tend to cost a little more. Bands start around the £2500 mark with the average band costing just over £3000. The more band members you add, the more it costs.
