Sheffield based 4-piece band The Flavours play a soulful mix of funk, soul, rock n roll and contemporary pop from Elvis and Aretha to Amy Winehouse and Duffy. Acoustic duo and trio also available.

Electric female-fronted Sheffield 4-piece The Flavours started playing together when they were teenagers, and have been honing their dynamic sound ever since, experimenting with new lineups and even developing an acoustic set. They can adapt to fit your budget, adding a keyboard player to enhance their sound, or perform as a duo to provide great-value entertainment at weddings, parties and corporate functions.

The band’s bass player has an impressive roll-call of session credits, including Chris Rea, Leo Sayer, Joan Armatrading and Elkie Brooks, and has his own originals projects. Classically trained drummer John’s style and sophistication keep him busy playing for famous jazz and classical artists up and down the country.

What people say

  • The Flavours played at my husband's 40th Birthday Party on the 8th May 2010 and what a fantastic set of people they were. We have never booked a band before and with 130 guests of a mixed age group in our garden we were nervous! We didn't need to be, they were fantastic. With Kate's beautiful voice and her talented musicians behind her I don't think we could have picked anyone better. Everyone thought they were great and we would have no reservations in recommending them. They pitched the song choice and beat just perfect!! Thank you to so much for making our party! Your website was easy to use and navigate around, that made it easy for me, as I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to the internet. Booking was easy and straight forward and you provided us with a fantastically talented band, thank you.

  • The Flavours played for us very recently at a garden party. The choice of songs for the set list worked perfectly; a few mellow numbers to begin, slowly building so that by the middle of the first set, the “early dancers” were up on the floor. For the whole of the second set, the dance floor was packed and Kate had all 100 guests in the palm of the hand singing along with the choruses. Just Brilliant. The day after the party we were visited by neighbours who we had never seen before. They had been sitting in their garden listening to the music and they came to find out about this fabulous band so that they can book them for their own party. I rest my case!

  • I manage a bar in Sheffield city centre where The Flavours play twice a month. They are a local professional covers band who entertains the crowd to the highest standard. The Flavours draw in crowds of all generations and always guarantee a full bar. They are a pleasure to work with which is why they are top of my list of bands to book.
