Party and Wedding Band Essex

Motor City Soul - Motown & Soul Band Essex

Motor City Soul are a Essex soul band who deliver fiery and funky sets of classic Motown, Atlantic and rare Northern soul, just the way it used to be!

We play some of the greatest tunes ever written! Expect us to recreate Detroit’s golden age of music masterfully, getting you up and dancing in a way that only a full brass backed soul band for weddings really can.

We are highly regarded regulars on the London soul scene, holding down a number of residencies across the capital’s most popular nightspots making us one of the the perfect soul & motown bands for weddings, parties and festivals. We also have extensive experience catering for corporate functions (including Spotify, and Shazam – who both know their music!)

Booking us in Essex is easy and stress free. You’ll get a secure contract, 24-hour emergency support, and expert advice from our exclusive agents Alive Network. If we’re not available for the date of your event, they’ll be able to help source another great band, with a wide range of high quality Essex function bands.
