Manchester knows how to throw a party. From Ancoats street festivals to hotel ballrooms off Deansgate, this city loves a good singalong and a packed dance floor. If you’re weighing up entertainment for a wedding, agency party, media wrap, student ball or a Christmas do, a live Soul & Motown band is one of the most reliable ways to get every generation moving. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose the right band, what line-ups work best in Manchester venues, how pricing usually lands, and how to book smoothly through Poptop.
A Soul & Motown set delivers wall-to-wall hits. The melodies are familiar, the grooves are irresistible, and the lyrics are built for singalongs.

Requests are welcome. If you’ve got a family favourite for the first dance or a company anthem, pass it on early so the band can arrange it. For Northern Soul purists, share a shortlist of must-plays to catch the spirit without losing the casual crowd.
The answers will show how well the band fits your plan and space.
