Most bands play two sets of 45 to 60 minutes and arrive with their own backline, PA and stage lighting. Raise song requests early, since learning a first dance or a particular album track takes rehearsal time, and check stage depth before booking a five-piece: a full drum kit, two guitar rigs and a keyboard need more room than a stripped-back trio.
Of the 311 suppliers listed here, 15 are based in Ireland. The other 296 are willing to travel there.

Soul Bands in IrelandClassic rock bands in Ireland cover the era from the 1960s through the 1990s, with repertoires built on acts like The Who, Deep Purple, Fleetwood Mac and Jimi Hendrix. The sound is fully amplified, so the room matters more than it does for an acoustic booking: a low ceiling or a strict noise limit changes what a band can deliver, and the better acts ask about both before they quote.
A four-piece of guitar, bass, drums and vocals is the usual format, with five- and six-piece line-ups adding keyboards or a second guitar for a fuller sound. Check the space before confirming: a full drum kit and two guitar rigs want roughly three metres (ten feet) of depth, and most bands need two or three standard power sockets near the stage rather than a single extension lead.
Most bands arrive two to three hours before the first song for load-in and soundcheck, which is worth building into the venue schedule if the room is in use beforehand. Two sets of 45 to 60 minutes is the standard booking, split by a break with recorded music. Where the venue has a curfew, work backwards from it when setting the start time instead of leaving the gap at the end of the night.
Rates in Ireland run from €170 to €2,700+, with most bookings landing near €900. Band size is the largest single factor, followed by travel, set length and whether the act needs to bring extra sound or lighting for a larger room. Learning a specific song for a first dance or a surprise moment usually carries a small additional fee.
The average price is €900 (EUR), with most priced from €170 to €2,700+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Fierce Weddings
"When scouting for a wedding band for our big day, my little sister suggested that I check these guys out, as she had seen them live a few times across various venues in the South East. She knew the brief and by god did these guys meet (and exceed) it. We wanted some class music and a vibe that everyone would remember, not just another generic wedding set. Fierce mild clearly do NOT do generic 🤣 far from it!
Ailise and Andrew were there from 1pm until 1am the following morning, going from truly beautiful acoustic sets for our ceremony (bringing many tears to many eyes) and drinks reception to rocking it up with the main band for our evening celebrations before ending the night with a cracking DJ set. These guys literally did not stop all day! I got to really enjoy my “father-daughter” dance as Andrew, Ailise and the band learned “sweet child of mine” by Guns and Roses especially for the occasion. To say my dad was surprised (and delighted) would be putting it mild.
What made it even more special was having several friends and family members come up to ask who the band were and how they had never had such a good time dancing at a wedding (and considering it was blistering hot that day in the marquee, I will take that as a massive compliment).
If you are looking for a band with some real soul, real edge, then look no further! Would recommend them 100%!
Can we do it all again? 🥹"
The Wild Ones
"Great band altogether, really enjoyed seeing them!"
The Remotes
"The Remotes played for two hours and had us all up dancing! So many different styles were played from Hozier to Bruce Springsteen! The Cajon kept the beat going whilst the guitar player oozed out solos every now and again. A great voice 👌 too!"
Morning Glory
"Absolutely brilliant band, Paul has liams vocals, presence, swagger, and attitude, down to perfection, The best oasis tribute band by a country mile,🎸🎤🎼"
Keith McCoy - Drummer

Whiskey & Shades Country Band
"Whiskey & Shades were fantastic at the Little Country Fest! Great country vibes, brilliant music, and an amazing atmosphere. They really got the crowd going and made it a memorable festival. Definitely a band worth seeing live!"
