Booked for Corporate Function

I attend a large number of events a year with my job and I can say with a shadow of doubt that Grove all starts are the best band I’ve seen. Every song was a floor filler the way they got the whole room dancing all night was amazing. I would highly recommend this band for any occasion you won’t be disappointed.

Booked for Birthday party

Cool Groove were excellent. The music was good and helped provide exactly the right atmosphere for what was an all round excellent evening. They are very talented, flexible and nothing was too much trouble for them. I found them to be very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Monika to you and to your band.

Booked for Wedding

Cherry Valentine and the Bees Knees are absolutely amazingly talented. We absolutely loved them at our wedding reception. Our guests say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I am sooo glad that we couldn't have a dj and dance floor. We had the best time ever and I couldn't thank them enough. Book now!! You won't be disappointed. They will have you on your feet even if you don't dance! Thank you so much ❤️

Booked for Wedding

The soul outlaws recently played at our wedding and they were incredible! The communication throughout the planning was great and they really did keep everybody on the dance floor all night!! We (and the guests) had so much fun thanks to the band. The songs were all brilliant and they were all so talented! Would definitely recommend for any party if you want to be up and dancing!

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a soul band in the UK?

The cost of hiring a soul band in the UK is usually determined by the duration of the performance, the travel distance, and other extra services. On Poptop, a UK soul band for hire costs between £800 and £2,700. Visit Poptop's website to get the price for a soul band performance in the UK. You can request a quick price by providing information about your events, such as the date, time, and location.

What is the duration of a soul band performance?

Soul motown bands often play a 60-minute set followed by a 15-minute break. However, this time is flexible because the band has the option to go longer if that would be to your liking. Some soul bands in the UK perform two sets of 45 or 60 minutes separately. On their profile pages, our suppliers' service duration is available, and they provide flexible hours. The band will work with you to customise the performance's length to your occasion, whether you like a lengthy or brief performance.
