Live bands are normally the highlight of any event or party, so hiring one who you know is going to deliver the goods is essential.
Enthusiastic passion
Here at London Soul, we play all genres of music, but are especially well known for our enthusiastic passion for soul. Along with being great to listen to, soul music performed by soul bands is so infectious that you simply cannot help but feel the urge to dance. Soul music puts a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride, and quite simply fills your event with a fun groove which is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish.
Flexible function bands
We do what we do very well and are very experienced in catering for all types of requests. For example, when playing at weddings, we often get asked to play romantic music with no vocals, and that is something which we are more than happy to do. Similarly, if asked to play floor filling sing alongs all night long then we gladly will. We are paid to provide whatever is needed, so no matter if you are after soft ambient background music at your function or something to really raise the roof, we can help you realise your vision of exactly how the function should be.
We here at London Soul are widely regarded as one of the best function bands in the business. So when considering live bands for your next function or event, make us your first port of call.

The most important aspect of any function is the music. Music helps to create a suitable atmosphere, therefore if you want your function to be lively, your choice of music will need to be upbeat and funky. Conversely, if your function is to be a more intimate affair then you will most likely want music that is more laid back and relaxed. Whichever type of music will best suit your event, there is no better way to deliver it than with live function bands.
It is generally quite hard to find musical genres which function bands can play at both upbeat and relaxed functions. For example, hard rock may be good for an 18th birthday party but it is unlikely to go down so well at a corporate function. Thankfully, there is one genre of music which can suit practically any type of function or celebration. Soul.
Soul music is universally enjoyed by people of all ages and musical tastes. Tracks by the likes of James Brown, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and many others are known and loved the world over. These songs are legendary, and hearing them played by live soul bands that have a passion for the music is a real treat.
Here at London Soul, we are widely recognised as one of the best live soul bands around. For more information or to book us for your next function, get in touch with us today.

It is fair to say that corporate functions generally follow a pretty standard format: meal, speeches, comedy turn/guest speaker, and disco. However, the time when the disco starts is generally seen as the cue for most of those attending to grab their coats and leave. However, many function organisers these days are giving their guests more reason to stick around by hiring function bands to provide some proper late night entertainment.
Momentum
Good quality function bands offer more than an alternative musical style to that of a disco, they also provide musicians talented enough to keep the momentum generated by the earlier entertainment going strong. In many ways, an effective and entertaining function band can be the element which brings the other aspects of the evening together.
Engaging
Anybody who appreciates music loves to see live bands strut their stuff. Even people who do not usually class themselves as ‘into music often find themselves captivated by the engaging chemistry generated by live bands. Regardless of what types of people are at the event, they will be far less inclined to leave with a quality live band entertaining them rather than yet another amateur DJ spinning the same old tunes.
Here at London Soul, our 12 piece band can help to make any corporate function go with a swing. For more information and to book us for your next function or event, browse our web pages or get in touch with us today.
