Booked for Wedding

Funk City Band were perfect for our occasion. We wanted a band who'd get people up and dancing and they did that perfectly. Craig was very helpful and responsive in the lead up to the event too.

Booked for Birthday party

This band is amazing - have to mention the lead singer- just off the scale- and all of the band were the very best you could ask for. I’m trying to find an excuse to host another party so I can book them again!!

Booked for Birthday party

Jess and the Red Hot rags were amazing. Having planned an small private event for my Father in Law that had to be postponed due to Covid we were delighted to reorganise an outdoor, social distancing event for today. Red Hot Rags played wonderful music and made a man whose health is rapidly fading very very Happy. I can't thank them enough for all they have done and would recommend them to anyone.Thank you so much.

Booked for Birthday party

Really great band. So many people commented how much they enjoyed the music and the band members were all very professional. I would thoroughly recommend.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

When will a soul band in Bristol start its performance?

In most cases, a soul band in Bristol can start their performance at the beginning of the event to create a lively and fun atmosphere. The band can perform during the drink reception too. Regardless of the time, the band must ensure to engage the audience in a high-energy show when they are most likely to dance. You should expect the band to play at the beginning of the event and when your guest can dance without a distraction. You may also want to get more information from your preferred supplier and also discuss if you have a particular time in mind that you want them to play.
