Motown Magic Experience
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Professional, reliable and utterly mindblowingly talented. Having the Motown Magic Experience at my 30th birthday party was hands down the best part of the night. They are simply fantastic. My guests and I danced the night away and I will never forget doing The Love Train to the live sax with all my nearest and dearest. The band manager, Alex, is a real asset, and really put my mind at rest in the lead up to the event and on the night. They will be talked about in my family for years to come. Book without hesitation!!"

FAQs about hiring Soul & Motown bands in Hackney

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any soul & motown band play my favourite song?

Professional soul & motown bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that soul & motown bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the soul & motown band's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do soul & motown bands take to set up?

Your soul & motown band will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the soul & motown band prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our soul & motown bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our soul & motown bands will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
