Folk Wedding Bands

Are you looking for folk wedding bands if you are you have come to the right place. With the  likes of Mumford & Sons the folk-rock bands are ideal for that festival style feel. With festival style, vintage weddings becoming increasingly popular these bands are the perfect choice for those tipi barn style weddings.

These folk-rock style bands perform with acoustic guitar double bass drums and sometimes banjos.

Performing hits from the likes of Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers they will keep you and your guests entertained into the night.

 Not only do they sound the part they also dress the part. Most bands will perform one set acoustic style and then the second set would be electric performing high energy songs to finish the party off in style.

 

How much do they cost?

To give you an idea of price a trio would be around £1200 and four or five-piece can be from £1500 up to around £2500 depending on location of the event.

Do you have Traditional Folk Bands? 

We also have a great choice of Ceilidh bands to choose from as well as Irish bands across the UK.

A barn dance or ceilidh is a fantastic way to ensure that your guests interact regardless of their age or capability. These bands usually consist of instruments such as Fiddle, Guitar, Double Bass, Cajon.

Singer or musician for an event

 

If you’re planning an event, then you need great music, and that sometimes means one solo performer who can get to know your crowd and who your audience can get to know, too! That’s why our solo musicians are always in such hot demand for events – their personal touch and genre flexibility mean that they’re a perfect fit for any event, no matter the scale. We have solo singers that sing to backing tracks or solo acoustic guitarists. Also, we can provide a saxophonist, pianist or violinist for any occasion.

Roaming Bands

 

What is a Roaming Band?

A Roaming band or sometimes called strolling bands or wandering musicians, they are very interactive with their audience as they roam and mingle amongst your guests. This is ideal for outside events but can also perform indoors in larger venues. They play acoustically and unamplified and can be either as a solo performer all the way up to a Roaming brass band.

Where will they perform

Roaming bands are perfect for those Tipi barn style festival weddings where there is a large space outdoors for your band to wander and mingle amongst your wedding guests and keep everyone entertained while having drinks and nibbles and encouraging everyone to join in the fun. This also makes them perfect for outdoor corporate events and parties.

How long do they perform?

Most roaming bands perform for 2 x 45 minutes with a break in between, but 2 x 60 minutes is not unusual either.

What type of music

Roaming bands perform a wide range of genres from roaming folk, pop to vintage jazz style tunes. You can find a band that would suit any occasion including roaming brass bands playing funk and pop favourites as well as New Orleans. Also, we have a fun and exciting Ukulele band that performs roaming as well as Mexican Mariachi bands to get you singing along with.
