"We recently had Manolis perform at our wedding in Kos in June 2026. From first contact with him to the big day he kept in touch and was happy to send us a video of himself performing the song we requested for the ceremony to make sure we were happy. His performance on the day was excellent, every piece of music was fantastic and timed to perfection. The guests all commented how good he was and how wonderful it was to have at a wedding. We would highly recommend Manolis and are grateful to him for making our day such a special occasion." Based in Kos, South Aegean, Greece 3rd July 2026 Paul C - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for folk bands on Gig Heaven is $1,150, with rates from $240 to $2,450+. Cost depends on the number of musicians, performance length and the instruments involved. Folk bands feature a range of traditional instruments such as fiddle, mandolin, accordion and bodhrán, and larger groups with more players cost more.

The folk bands for hire perform a range of folk styles including traditional, contemporary folk, Celtic, English folk, world folk and folk-rock. Many bands feature acoustic instruments such as fiddle, guitar, mandolin, accordion, bodhran and bouzouki.

Hiring folk bands suits a wide range of events including weddings, ceilidhs, barn dances, festivals, pub events, corporate functions and cultural celebrations. Folk music creates a warm, convivial atmosphere and many bands encourage audience participation through sing-alongs and dancing.

Some folk bands also offer ceilidh or barn dance calling as part of their performance. The caller guides guests through traditional group dances, making it an inclusive and entertaining activity for all ages. To get the best results, check each band's profile to see if they offer this option.

Many folk bands can perform acoustically for smaller, intimate venues. For medium to large events, most bands bring their own PA system. It is advisable to discuss the venue size and guest numbers with the band to determine the best sound setup.
