Not only that, but Soulshine Band bring you right up to date with more recent hits inspired by these old school legends, with Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Pharell Williams and many more. For those of you looking for something super cool and off the charts, Soulshine Band also perform a number of rare groove, funk, and acid jazz tracks which will keep even the most discerning listener happy.
All of this is presented to you in the unique Soulshine style with glitz, glam, flair and energy – for a spectacular night that you and your guests will never forget.
The Soulshine Band has performed at many renowned venues in London and beyond – including Blenheim Palace, Emirates Stadium, Madame Tussauds, The London Science Museum, Bush Hall, The Savoy, The Ritz, The Hilton, as well as 100’s of smaller wedding venues across the country.
The most popular line up is the 7-piece, which is the smallest line up featuring the the perfect combination of male & female vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and saxophone. Each of the singers are at the top of their game and know exactly how to get your guests off their seats and onto the dance floor. Having a male and female vocalist creates a great dynamic on stage, and allows the band to perform the widest variety of genres.
If live horns are important to you, we highly recommend adding the trumpet. There is nothing quite like the sound of a live horn section for that full, fat, funk sound, and having two horns working in combination allows the band to play more of the brass heavy numbers where more than one brass member is essential.
For a more tropical edge, why not add some percussion? Bongos and congas are a staple of disco and house music, but percussion is rarely seen on stage these days. So having a live bongo/ conga player is sure to please your guests, and this gives the band a more authentic disco sound and flavour.
For those looking for the ultimate line up, the band can complete their line up with an additional female vocalist. Having three vocalists allows the band to create luscious vocal harmonies, aswell as perform choreography on stage and really work the dance floor!
You can also choose extra acoustic performances as a duo or trio in addition to the full band if required. This is a very popular option during the wedding ceremony, drinks reception, or dinner before the party really begins!
The band also boasts a range of optional extras such as wireless microphone for speeches, CD decks & turntables if you are hiring a DJ, starcloth backdrop and coloured uplighting around the room – all at preferential rates for customers who book the Soulshine Band.
Whether you are looking for the ultimate Funk, Soul wedding band or entertainment for your private party or corporate event, you are guaranteed a spectacular performance that you and your guests will never forget.

Don’t take our word for it…
A selection of reviews from some of our happy customers.
Every single thing was so absolutely spot on
“I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your excellent sets at my niece’s wedding at Crabbs Barn last night. I really don’t think I’ve ever seen a wedding band such as yourselves where every single thing was so absolutely spot on; the astounding musicianship of the band, the phenomenal vocals and amazing stage presence of the singer, the variety of the repertoire, the tightness of the performance, the well balanced sound, the engagement with the punters, the overall presentation, I could go on…
Clare and Andrew had a fantastic wedding day, and it was so beautifully concluded with your three sets. They, and indeed the rest of the family and guests, were still raving about you today, and will doubtless continue to do so for a while yet. I very much hope to see you again, and will certainly recommend you to anyone who is on the lookout for a wedding band. Thanks again.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the dance floor so completely rammed
“Dear James. Just wanted to drop you a note to say the HUGEST thank you for everything you did to support our staff party on Friday with all the lighting and for embracing the Strictly theme with the fantastic glitterball! The Soulshine Band were simply fabulous and the song choice was spot on. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the dance floor so completely rammed from beginning to end before. Not sure how you managed to do that but we cannot thank you enough. We were very grateful for all you did to ensure it was such a success. We cannot wait to have you back at the College again soon and will continue to pass on the band details with gusto!
Wishing you a merry Christmas and hope that the new year brings the happiness you deserve. Best wishes and thanks again from us all.
