The Soul Miners Pricing & Costs
From £1,320
We typically perform 2 x 1 hour sets but will perform 3 x 40 minute sets if requested. We will, of course, fit into your itinerary. All our vocalists (one male, two female) sing lead vocals. They also perform backing vocals, duet, and sing in harmony, making our sets appeal to a very wide audience. We tailor our sets to suit our clients individual requirements. If you would like us to perform a song for your First Dance that is not already included in our repertoire, we would be very happy to discuss this with you. We are a 100% live band and do not use pre-recorded backing tracks in our performances. We are fully self-contained and require no additional equipment support (except for a mains power supply). We will provide our own PA, audio engineer, and lighting rig unless otherwise instructed. We can provide disco playlists throughout your party for no additional charge (unless it is a very late finish). You are welcome to provide your own music playlists via your own device which we will connect to our mixing desk.

Unbelievably talented musicians!
When we started planning our wedding, we both knew we wanted a soul band and although we'd never seen The Soul Miners perform, we went with the recommendation of a friend. I can't tell you how glad I am that we listened! The energy these guys give to every single song is just unbelievable! Their vocals are insane and I can't even describe in words how talented the musicians are. The dance floor didn’t stop rocking from the first, till the last track and all our guests have not stopped talking about "The Band". On top of this, all the band members were so lovely taking the time to congratulate us and chat with our guests. I can honestly say that booking The Soul Miners was the best decision I made (apart from saying Yes of course!). Thank you so much guys for making our wedding one to remember. You are quite simply amazing!

There should be a law against being this good!
'There should be a law against being this good...but I'm glad there isn't! We were absolutely delighted that you played at our wedding yesterday. All our guests were blown away with just how brilliant you were and it capped an already special day. Your professionalism at the venue was fantastic. We would thoroughly recommend 'The Soul Miners' to anyone looking to book a wedding in the future.'

Absolutely thrilled with your performance!
'Thanks very much!! Kelly and I would just like to say that we were absolutely thrilled with your performance on the night. It really made the evening for us and our guests and we had so many comments on how fantastic you were. We even had some family members who never dance up there giving it their all!! For anyone reading this who are thinking of booking The Soul Miners...DO IT NOW...they are brilliant!'

We cannot recommend The Soul Miners highly enough!
We can’t thank The Soul Miners enough for making our really special day into an absolutely unforgettable one! When we were looking for bands to play at our wedding reception, there were very few that had footage of live performances on their websites. We were really excited with the live performances and impressed that they had the confidence to show how they sounded in a live setting. Liaising with the band manager Paul was so easy; Paul was really helpful and reassuring. On the day the band arrived early, were extremely professional and prepared to adapt to last minute changes. The Soul Miners performance was absolutely superb and exceeded all our expectations. They definitely got the party started and came prepared with a few dance moves of their own!! Our wedding guests were shaking their tail feathers from the first song to the last! And so many guests are still telling us how good they were….weeks after the wedding! So if you like soul music, we cannot recommend The Soul Miners highly enough.
