Arguably the best funk, soul and disco band in London right now, The Natural Highs bring floor-filling songs, wow-factor and raw soul energy to your party.

Book within 7 days and get a FREE professional DJ included by the band!

The band's large song list spans all your favourite soul, funk and disco artists, whilst giving the cheesier offerings in these genres a wide berth (no Abba here!)

The accomplished musicians in the band recreate the songs of the era accurately and authentically, whilst lacing their set with virtuosic solos to bring the house down every time.

Stylish and charismatic, the band have performed at some of the UK's top venues including Blenheim Palace, Emirates Stadium, Madame Tussauds and The London Science Museum, as well as private weddings and parties all over the country.

The band's most popular line-up option is their 7-piece line-up which features dual male and female lead vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and saxophone.

But if your budget doesn't stretch to their larger line-ups, worry not. Even as a 5-piece, the band's create a rich sound typical of a much larger band, due to the inventive use of string and brass synths by their keys player.

Of course, if you prefer a live brass section they can offer that too - check out their booking options below.

Fabulous! Their singer has an amazing voice and infectious energy. I would hire them again in a flash! Julia, Birthday Party, London

The band offer up to three vocalists, and interaction is key – they know exactly what to do to motivate guests and entertain from the first note of the set through till closing time.

A percussionist is also available to enhance the rhythmic element and allow for more accurate recreations of classic soul and funk songs, such as Move On Up.

Acoustic or jazz sets can be booked for your afternoon drinks or dinner in addition to the full line-up later on.

“The band were first class! Blown away by their performance and energy which made the night such a memorable one! Everyone was on the dance floor from start to finish and it’s down to these guys. Communication with them before and during was super easy. Thank you so much”

Lewis, Wedding, Jo Jos, Whitstable, September 2021

“The band played the right mix of music as requested and we loved every minute of it! Lots of people commented on how great they were. Our first dance was perfect and will live on in my memory forever. One guest even said “I’ve never heard a wedding band play Return of the Mac before! Love it!!””

Claire Vanner, Wedding, Windsor, July 2021

“Thanks again for making our wedding party amazing, you're brilliant and we were blown away! We could have happily partied for the entire night.”

Toni, Wedding in Hampshire, August 2019

“We had such a brilliant time last night and the band completely hit the spot. The lounge music during dinner set the mood perfectly, and the party afterwards was amazing! It was great to see so many people dancing - even the older ones! The only sadness was having to bring it all to an end! We'll definitely be hiring you again next year!”

Angela, Summer Ball in London, July 2019

“Thanks for a fantastic performance at our wedding. You brought great energy, a fantastic sound and a really strong focal point for our evening reception. Thanks too for being so easy to work with.”
