Afrobeat Band Canterbury
In the heart of Kent, Canterbury's historic venues and country estates make a stunning backdrop, and AfroSync brings the sound to match: Afrobeat, jazz and soul, delivered with premium production.
Canterbury is Kent at its most storied, and its venues carry real weight. AfroSync brings a live sound with the depth to match. Our trio of piano, saxophone and djembe suits the cathedral-city hotels and historic halls, moving from Fela Kuti grooves through jazz into reggae and soul with the poise these rooms ask for.
Beyond the city walls, the surrounding country estates and oast-house venues open up space for a bigger night. Vocalist May can front the band when a wedding or celebration wants more presence, and marimba, mbira and talking drum add colour that keeps a set feeling alive rather than routine. Full PA and performance lighting are included, so stone halls and beamed barns both sound and look their best.
As a Kent-based band, Canterbury is close to home, which keeps logistics simple and reliable. Our equipment is PAT-certified and we carry full public liability cover, and we agree load-in, sound check and timings with your venue well ahead of the day.
Venues we’re at home in
Historic city venues
Period halls and listed buildings within the old city suit the trio's acoustic warmth, with lighting that flatters stone and timber interiors.
Cathedral-city hotels
Established Canterbury hotels offer polished ballrooms and function suites for weddings, dinners and corporate events across the year.
Surrounding country estates
Estates and manor grounds outside the city give room for a full show, with vocals and percussion filling larger marquees and halls.
Oast-house and barn venues
Converted oast houses and Kentish barns nearby carry our PA and lighting well, turning rural character into a strong live setting.
