A live band to suit all

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Almost everyone loves live bands. There is something impressive about being in the presence of such acts and listening to the music they play. It certainly beats standard discos.

The trouble is, not everyone likes the same genres, and this can cause problems if you are trying to book function bands for an event. After all, whether you are organising a wedding reception, birthday party, corporate celebration or anything else, guests are bound to have somewhat divergent tastes.

However, as long as you are clever when you make your booking, you should succeed in getting live bands that all revellers enjoy.

For example, London Soul has a fabulous repertoire of songs spanning every era over the last 30 years, from old-time classics to modern day hits. This means that all age groups are catered for.

This is great news as it means your dance floor should be packed with happy partygoers who are eager to make the most of the fantastic entertainment. All night long, the hits will just keep coming.

This is a world away from certain other function bands, which don’t realise the importance of an inclusive approach to these events. By covering an eclectic range of material, London Soul ensure you get your money’s worth and your guests end up leaving with smiles on their faces and sore feet.

To hear samples of the songs played, you can check out the relevant section of our website. This is bound to get you in the party spirit!

Choosing the Best Function Bands

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Choosing the function bands for your party or special occasion can be a difficult process. How do you know that the party bands you are looking at as possibilities to play on the night are as good as they say they are? You might be lucky when you choose from the many function bands out there and have a great night, but there are some horror stories about party bands which have turned up after promising a night to remember only for those memories to be full of people who could not sing and musicians who were significantly less than accomplished.

If you want to avoid this when you are booking function bands, you need look no further than this website. Here at London Soul, we have built a great reputation over the last ten years for providing excellent musicians and singers who are guaranteed to make your night go with a bang.

Bring Summer Events to Life with Soul Bands

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

The organisation of outdoor events is an important part of making the most of the British summertime, whether you are optimistic and expecting the sun to shine on your party or a little less positive and definitely hiring a marquee, just in case of inclement weather.

Rain or shine, there are always occasions for celebration. This summer, you may be hosting a family gathering or reunion, or throwing a seventy fifth birthday celebration, but whatever the party, you may be considering your options in terms of function bands and DJs to provide the entertainment for your guests.

At London Soul, we aim to provide professional and enthralling performances, with set lists containing hits from rock bands such as Bon Jovi and soul bands such as The Blues Brothers. We consider no venue or audience too small or too large and that our set lists contain something for everybody. We have made toes tap overseas and won acclaim for the entertainment we provide. Function bands are more likely to keep your guests amused, with the live quality setting a mood. Even those who are not inclined to get up and dance can enjoy watching us perform, infinitely preferable to a lifeless DJ in a booth in the corner.

We can alter our set list, so if your or your guests preference leans more towards jazz bands than soul bands, for example, we can provide a different set of hits from our expansive repertoire, crammed with classics from four genres spanning the last thirty years.

Summer Party Bands

Friday, April 15th, 2011

Summer is the best season for organising events, bringing with it the possibility of adding outdoor elements to your celebrations, such as marquees, barbeques, and more. Adding music to such events by hiring party bands is another wonderful way to enhance the atmosphere and ensure that your guests enjoy and remember your party.

It could be a family gathering, a wedding celebration, a work party or something totally different, but whatever your event, you can rule out all other function bands by coming straight to London Soul for professional, enthusiastic musicians. We consider no audience too small or large, possessing a positive attitude towards events in need of party bands.

A twelve piece band established in 1997, we have developed a repertoire more extensive than most function bands could lay claim to, spanning several genres, including rock, pop, soul, and jazz. This range enables us to accommodate the musical tastes of you and your guests, ensuring that whether you want floor fillers or background music, you get what you requested.

We can help to make your party a party, knowing more than enough classic hits from the last thirty years to keep the dance floor perpetually full, entertaining both older and younger guests with music they recognise and love. Live music is always infinitely more enjoyable than tracks relayed by a DJ, and usually sees more success in enticing your guests to get up and dance. With flexibility, professionalism and passion, we can provide an evenings entertainment and help to ensure your event is a hit.
