Funk City 7 piece band
This is the biggest and baddest Funk City Band. The 7 piece band of all out HOT Funk & Pop / ROCK. Big, sexy, brass sound with a horn section for larger events and fantastic parties. Although still affordable we will tailor the set to suit any weddings or events. It totally rocks. The band still plays fun, popular songs that everyone will know and want to dance to and adds classic Blues Brothers and Motown tunes to really turn the party up to 11! If you can go BIG. Choose the Funk City 7 piece band.
🎷 Why a 6/7-Piece Band Brings the Ultimate Live Sound to Your Party
When you want your wedding, private party, or any corporate event to be unforgettable, there’s one secret weapon that guarantees it: a big band sound. And no, we’re not talking about a DJ with a playlist—we’re talking about a live 6 or 7-piece band, complete with a full rhythm section and a horn section that takes the energy to a whole new level. And its a BIG flex on your friends and family…
If you’re looking for a brilliant band to light up your night, here’s why we should be your number one choice.
🎺 Big Band, Big Vibe
There’s a massive difference between our 2 others bands for hire- (the standard four-piece band and the 3 piece band ) a 6/7-piece band with horns. That extra layer of live brass—the sweet blast of trumpet and the soulful swing of saxophone—creates a rich, vibrant sound that fills the room, lifts the energy, and makes every song feel alive. Also, under the lighting rig the photos look even more shiny and glam.
Whether we’re covering Motown, Funk, Sul, Pop, or even reworking chart hits with a vintage twist, our horn section adds that wow factor that guests never forget. Remember – horns make hits!
🎶 More Musicians = More Musical Firepower
Here’s the thing: a 6 or 7-piece setup means we can do so much more musically. Our band typically includes:
-
Vocals (this bigger band has male & female lead for versatility)
-
Electric Guitar
-
Bass
-
Drums
-
Some backing tracks for an even bigger sound
-
Trumpet 🎺
-
Saxophone 🎷
That’s a full, professional line-up ready to deliver everything from Stevie Wonder classics to Bruno Mars floor-fillers—with power, precision, and passion. And with a horn section in the mix, tracks like “Proud Mary,” “Uptown Funk,” and “Valerie” hit harder, feel fresher, and sound like the real thing. You can see videos above or on our Videos and Media page.
💃 Horns Bring the Party
Let’s be real: nothing gets people moving like a live band with a horn section. When the trumpet punches through on the chorus, or the sax lays down a solo that melts the room—it’s party time.
People don’t just hear it—they feel it. That’s the beauty of a live party band with horns. The groove is groovier (lol), the sound is bigger, and the vibe is electric. Whether it’s your first dance or your last song of the night, live horns create unforgettable moments.

If you have a wedding or event in a different place we are local to Bath, Wiltshire Bristol, Somerset and Reading too although we travel absolutely everywhere. Except the moon. When people dance too much in zero gravity they have a tendency to float off which can cause problems.
