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.

Soul Bands are Great for any Function

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

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.

Live Bands are More Popular than Ever

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

There has been something of a transformation in music recently. While we are buying less in the form of CDs and downloads compared to the number of vinyl records which used to be sold twenty years ago, more of us are listening to live music. This is reflected in the number of clubs which have sprung up all over the UK where musicians of every genre, from Metal to soul bands are playing to enthusiastic audiences.

There has also been a shift in the way we provide music for guests at parties we hold, whether they are wedding receptions, birthdays, graduation ceremonies or a party to mark an anniversary. Instead of booking a DJ and a mobile disco, more people are booking party bands to give the event that little bit of extra atmosphere.

Having said that, if you want your big night to be a success you will have to be sure that the party bands or soul bands you are considering are up to the task. Imagine the horror of booking party bands only for them to turn up on the night and be awful? You can avoid this nightmare scenario by booking party bands with a proven track record for providing a great night which will be enjoyed by all your guests.

If you are looking for soul bands and party bands, you are in the right place. Here at London Soul we have a proven reputation for giving our clients exactly what they want – a great night with great music provided by accomplished musicians and singers.

Party Bands Make Your Event Unforgettable

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

When you are planning an event, whatever it is, you will want to make it special and unforgettable. There is no better way to add life to a special event than with a live band. For a minor outlay of money, party bands can bring life and enjoyment to any event you choose, making your event an occasion that your guests will remember forever.

Party bands can add excitement to any event, from weddings to banquets and birthday parties to corporate events. But a quality event demands a quality band. If you book a substandard band for your event, it will be unforgettable for different reasons.

There are various things you should consider when booking live bands. The size of the event and location can be a major factor. The band that you choose should be adept at playing in front of the number of people who will be attending your event. The venue should also be able to accommodate the size of the band. The stage at the venue should be a comfortable size for the musicians and their instruments.

Once you have decided on the location for your event, then you can choose the style of music you would like your band to play. Soul bands are great for events. It is a style of music that everyone loves, and it will be sure to get your guests dancing.

Good party bands will also be able to take requests from guests. Having a live band at your next event will turn it from mundane to magnificent.
