The Mirrors
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Where do we start? What a fantastic night we had with The Mirrors as our entertainment at our 40th wedding anniversary. Azu and Flippo pitched the evening perfectly - our guests were completely blown away by them as were we. We didn't want them to leave! Made our night absolutely perfect, thank you. Don't hesitate to book them Janet and Paul"

Kane Matthews Band
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Kane and the band were absolutely fantastic - since our wedding, we have had so many guests telling us how much they enjoyed the music (which was important for us as we wanted it to just feel like a big party). Kane’s voice is fantastic, but he’s also a natural performer which made the music even better. They played such a great part in making our wedding a success (and successfully distracted guests from the torrential rain!). Would highly recommend to anyone."

Giulia and the Lizards
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Booked for a farewell party at a pub with a mix of friends. Everything was fantastic, from the ease of booking and communication with Jose leading up to the event to their 10/10 performance. They adapted to the crowd and entertained everybody. Everyone in my party loved them, pretty much everyone I spoke to commented how fantastic they were and kids were absolutely hypnotised by Giulia’s beauty and voice. One of the toddlers commented the next day “I think I like parties a lot, is there one tomorrow?”. For me, it was priceless having such a special last memory before moving countries the following morning."

FAQs about hiring Soul & Motown Bands in Newcastle Upon Tyne

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.
