Party Up's effortless cool and exceptionally high level of musicianship has provided the perfect headline entertainment at hundreds of weddings and parties.

The band play a mix of infectiously danceable pop, funk, soul, R&B, hip hop and UK garage – from soulful classics by Stevie Wonder and James Brown to 80s floor-fillers by Prince, Chaka Khan and Michael Jackson through to more recent chart-toppers by Rudimental, Kelis and Bruno Mars.

They have a long and impressive list of credentials in the music industry. Between them, they've performed on Top of the Pops, TFI Friday, Parkinson and Later With Jools Holland.

Members of the band have appeared on the same stage as Sister Sledge, Carleen Anderson, Richard Ashcroft, Boy George, Sir Elton John and Tom Jones, played at world famous venues such as Shepherd’s Bush Empire and the 100 Club and have session credits with soul and rare groove stars such as Tom Browne and James Mason.

With members based in London and Kent, the band have performed at prestigious venues across the UK, including The 606 Club, The Hurlingham Club, and Hedsor House, as are in huge demand on the corporate event circuit.

Their client list over the last few years includes huge household names such as Cadburys, Greene King, Ernst & Young, the BBC, Barclays, Hilton Hotels, MTR Crossrail, Sky, Tesco, Lego, BT, Tag Worldwide, Standard Life, The London Eye, and even the actress Emma Thompson!

Party Up are the best live band I've ever danced all night to! They perform with huge joy and really know how to keep the crowd moving. I'll never book anyone else! Emma Thompson, Actress

Party Up's starting 6-piece line-up features male vocals, drums, bass, guitar, keyboards and sax. Add a female vocalist to form a 7-piece – the band's most requested line-up. The male and female vocal frontline allows them to recreate a wider range of artists, with stunning accuracy.

Add trumpet to any line-up to form a two-piece horn section alongside their sax player, and create a 8-piece. If budget can stretch, add an extra sax to form a 9-piece.

For the final touch, add an extra male vocalist to fatten out the vocal frontline and form a 10-piece band.

Party Up are able provided a manned DJ service (using a laptop equipped with virtual DJ software) before, between and after sets, saving you the hassle of coordinating a separate DJ.

The band's DJ playlist consists of a broad range of soul, funk, rock and pop songs similar in style to their own repertoire. Please see below for costs. They can even provide their acoustic duo set (guitar and vocals) for your drinks reception or wedding breakfast in the afternoon.

Whatever your musical preferences, Party Up will adapt their set to your favourite genres. Don't like modern music? No problem – the band will stick to classic soul and funk. Soft spot for UK garage? Dance the night away to one of the only function bands covering this genre.

The band can perform a Jewish/Klezmer medley on request.

Now working as one of Function Central's most bookable wedding soul bands in Kent, London and beyond, the band are friendly, reliable and professional to a fault, and will do their utmost to ensure your day goes smoothly.

Please note, the "from" price reflects a local, midweek booking. Due to intense demand, please expect higher quotes than the advertised "from" price, for weekends, especially in peak season months.
