£3,065 - £5,420 + TravelGet ready. Tonight, Soul Liberation Funk is gonna make this a night to remember. Their mind-blowing soul and R&B revue is perfect for the very biggest nights in the calendar.
A genuinely world-class soul, R'n'B & pop party band, featuring some of the country’s best musicians and performers. You’re booking one of the most in-demand live acts in the UK.
“We just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you for your incredible contribution to our day. Soul Liberation Funk were so good, they had everyone up dancing and our first dance song was played beautifully. The sets seemed to go so quick as everyone was having such a good time. Thank you once again for everything and all of your support with the planning. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you and will gladly recommend you to others.”
Tara & James - Wedding, Kingston Estate, Devon“What can we say about Soul Liberation Funk? They are quite simply amazing and couldn’t recommend them enough. They were absolutely perfect for our wedding reception. My husband and I didn’t stop dancing all night and they even joined us on the dance floor, which just added to our experience!! All we can say is thank you Soul Liberation Funk, for making our big day, that little bit more special.”
Lois & Steve - Wedding, The Billesley Manor Hotel, Warwickshire“From the outset, we sought more than just a 'wedding band' for our special day, and Soul Liberation Funk surpassed every expectation. Their performances exude not only star-quality sound but also an unmistakable charisma, setting them apart as true entertainers. They don't just sound like stars, they look like stars because they are stars. Witnessing guests, who are normally wallflowers, enthusiastically take to the dance floor was a clear indicator of the band's exceptional ability to captivate and excite an audience. Soul Liberation Funk transcends the typical covers band label, offering unique and thoughtful interpretations of every song they play. Their rendition of our particularly complex special request was nothing short of spectacular. Moreover, their genuine kindness and spirited presence made them the ideal addition to our celebration, shining just as brightly off-stage as they do on. Choosing Soul Liberation Funk meant inviting not only phenomenal musicians but also wonderful people to be part of our big day, making the experience unforgettable for everyone involved.”
Ruby & Matthew - Wedding, St George's, Bristol“This amazing band played at my wedding on 5th August 2023; wow what can I say, they were outstanding. Even sang my first dance, Endless Love. I 100% recommend them. Even thinking of another event I can have to get them back :D They had all my guests up dancing and loving life. They've even got the moves too - absolutely loved them.”
Katie - Wedding, Frome, Somerset“Thank you so so much again. You guys were absolutely incredible and were my personal highlight of the whole day. Such a talented group who we will be talking to everyone about for months to come.”
Amelia - Wedding, Dorset“Soul Liberation Funk played at our wedding on 1st December, 2023. Music was a huge part of our day, so picking a band for the evening was a tough choice but they did not disappoint! Our guests were dancing from the moment the band started playing. They played a good variety of music but every song kept our guests dancing. Thank you for helping make this one of the best days of our lives, creating a memory we will never forget.”
Toni & Sam - Wedding, Gloucestershire“Wow thank you again for an awesome night. Everyone can't stop talking about how good the night was. Thank you for being such a huge part of it!! You guys were awesome!!! Hope to see you again in near future in one way or another we will meet again and I will be promoting you every opportunity I get. Bless you all.”
Jo & Bell - Twins 50th Birthday, Hereford“The amazing Soul Liberation Funk performed at our wedding in August 2023 and we cannot praise them enough. From the initial chat to discuss the set to the end of our wedding day, Maggie-Rose, Marlon and the band were attentive and professional. The set list was incredible, every song was performed with high energy and precision and the vocals were outstanding. The band and vocalists are extremely talented and made a special evening perfect. Every one of our guests still talk about the band to this day and we will never forget the Love Train. There is no better entertainment out there for your wedding! We cannot recommend Soul Liberation Funk enough. Thanks so much to all of you!

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features soul & Motown hits mixed with RnB and party classics, so there's certainly something for everyone.
We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 40 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 40 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.
If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.
Up to 90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.
At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.
We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.
Yes - we can offer a 1 x 60-minute duo, trio or 5-piece line-up add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner. You can view a video sample of this set here.
Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.
The published guide price range covers our 6-piece off peak price to our 10-piece peak price, performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Bristol. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.
Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.
Yes.
Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.
We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 3m x 5m.
2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.
The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.
As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
