Soul and Funk Bands
Whether it's a corporate event, a birthday party, and wedding reception or a university blowout, nothing gets the blood pumping like a live band to crank up the volume and get everybody up on the dance floor for an unforgettable boogie. There's no better recipe for this than a band with the kind of sounds that over two decades redefined what it is to party: Soul and Funk.
Soul music sketched a gold-clad line from Detroit to Memphis during the 1960s and resonated throughout the Western hemisphere from then on, creating forever the ultimate live music band. A good Soul band, usually literate in a vast portion of the soul corpus, is amongst the most popular of bands for hire and a solid choice for those looking for live wedding bands or corporate entertainment. UK groups are widely available and will give your event a smoothness that you'll love. We can find just the right Soul outfit for you.
By the 1970s, Funk became the dominant sound in African American music. Through combining the popular sounds of the Soul revival with hip-grinding rhythms and enchanting guitar hooks, the Funk of the 70s was able to push the thrust of black music onto bold new territory. Funk bands are an awesome choice for any thigh slapping and hip shaking occasion.
The link between the two is timeless, with the legendary James Brown famously traversing the crossroads of Soul and Funk. As such many bands combine both and have a diverse repertoire covering both great genres. Function Junction can help you find the right blend for the sound you're after.
