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 smallest line up is the 5pc consisting of male or female vocal, guitar, bass, drums and keyboards - this is the perfect line up for smaller venues and events. Our vocalists are some of the best in the business, and know exactly how to get your guests off their seats and onto the dancefloor!
Our 6pc line up includes both male & female vocals which instantly doubles our repertoire. Having 2 vocalists also allows us to bring you luscious harmonies, choreographed dance moves, and work the crowd more easily.
The 7pc option is our most popular line up, as this also includes saxophone. Our saxophone player is one of the best in the business, and when it's time for him to shine be prepared to see your guests jaws drop as plays the most captivating melodies. If you're lucky he may even leave the stage and join you and your guests in the middle of the dancedloor!
If funk is your thing we highly recommend adding a trumpet. There is nothing quite like the sound of a full brass section for that fat, funk sound. and having 2 horns working in combination allows the band to play more of the brass heavy songs such as "Move On Up" by Curtis Mayfield.
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 3 vocalists allows the band to create luscious vocal harmonies, aswell as perform choreography on stage and really work the dancefloor!
Included within the price is a professional sound system suitable for upto 200 people, plus stage lighting and dancefloor lighting. The Soul Rebels can also cater for much larger events - prices available on request.
The band can provide party music or background music via laptop or mp3 to play during sets, or if you would prefer to create your own playlist the band can provide a connection for you to connect to their sound system.
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!
