How much do you charge?
Unfortunately it is really difficult to give an indication of how much we charge without knowing a bit more about your event. There are many different things that affect the cost of hiring Hand Fulla' Soul, including size and location of the venue, the length of time you would like us to play etc. The best thing to do is to contact us now to talk through a few details of your event and we will give you a no obligation quotation and probably some helpful information!
What areas do you cover?
We are happy to play almost any where in the world! We are based in London and the South East, but can travel with no problem. Get in touch to discuss your event and the logistics.
Do you offer a smaller band?
Yes! Although the full Hand Fulla' Soul experience is the 8-piece band with full rhythm section, 2 horns and 2 singers, we do offer a variety of different ensembles to suit your event. Our smallest line-up is the 5-piece band which is perfect if you are tight on budget or space! Please email enquiries@handfullasoul.com to see a full listing of all of our options.
Will the band need PA or special lighting?
We will provide our own PA and lighting for up to 400 people. For larger events there will be a hire charge.
Do you take song requests?
Yes! For weddings we will learn one song for the first dance free of charge. We will also happily try to accommodate any other requests from our extensive repertoire list. If you would like us to learn more than one song, then there will be a £150 charge per song to cover rehearsal costs.
How long do you need to set up?
It takes about 2-2.5 hours to set up and sound check the PA. It is preferable to do this as close to the performance time as possible. However, if you require an earlier set up then let us know and we'll discuss how to accommodate it.
How long do you normally play for?
Usually we play 2 x 1 hour sets. However, if you prefer, we can split that into 3 x 40 minute sets. These are just the common set times we do. If you require alternative set times, or more than 2 hours live music we can do that too!
Will we need to hire a DJ?
We are happy to play either our own selection of music or your own selection before and in between our sets. Most people find that they don't need a separate DJ as well as the band.
How loud do you play?
As loud/quiet as you want! We will adjust the volume of the performance to your requirements.
What do you wear?
Hand Fulla' Soul musicians usually perform in all black with smart, matching ties. We will also play in black tie if required. We will always be smart in appearance on and off stage.
If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
