Holly hired The Mirrors for a Birthday party (available in Derbyshire)

Verified Review, 8 November 2025

"UNBELIEVABLE!!! The band were absolutely INCREDIBLE! Words can’t do them justice. Debz’ vocals were out of this world. So professional, friendly and a pleasure to have at our wedding. We have not stopped having compliments about Soul75. Thank yo so so so much for making our day so special and memorable! "

Rose hired Soul75 for a Wedding (available in Derbyshire)

Verified Review, 16 October 2025

"I am SO thrilled I booked this band for my wedding this September. I watched a lot of videos and deliberated a lot about which band to go for. And I found these reviews super helpful in doing that, so sharing my experience for others. Katanya was an absolute dream to work with on the run-up. She made all the planning so smooth and easy for us. Everyone was raving about Rocks the Room on the night and so many people asked me how I found the band. Some guests told us they were the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. It meant so much to us to have our dance floor packed :) Our wedding was approx 100 people, of very different ages and tastes. Getting nearly everyone dancing was not an easy job! Great musicians, great song choices. But above all, these guys really brought the vibes, the joy and the audience participation. We loved it! "

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.

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.
