About this Act
Soulshine Band are the ultimate funk, soul disco band! No cheese here, just the coolest cuts to guarantee a packed dancefloor all night long! London based, they are one of the UK's top funk soul bands, with 100s or performances under their belt around the UK and beyond. They are available as a 5-10 piece band so there is a line up to suit every occasion and budget.
They bring you all your favourite Funk, Soul, Motown and Disco artists such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, James Brown, Chic, Prince and Michael Jackson. All brought to you unique Soulshine style, full of glitz, glam, flair and energy - guaranteed to amaze your guests for a very special evening! Recent venues include Madame Tussauds, Blenheim Palace, Bush Hall, Emirates Stadium, The London Science Museum, The Hilton, The Savoy, The Ritz, as well as 100's of stately homes and private venues across the country.
The smallest line up is the 5pc consisting of female vocal, guitar, bass, drums and keyboards - this is the perfect line up for smaller venues and events which are not able to host the bigger line-ups. The female vocals are some of the best London in the business, and know exactly how to get your guests off their seats and onto the dancefloor!
To truly experience what the band can offer though, they recommend a minimum of the 7pc band which is the same as the 5pc plus male vocal and saxophone. The male vocalist oozes soul and your guests are sure to love him! Having a male and female duo front the band creates a wonderful dynamic on stage, and as a team they are able to work the crowd much better. The 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 dancefloor!
If funk is your thing they 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, as well as perform choreography on stage and really work the dancefloor!
