The caller handled inexperienced participants, hot weather, and minor technical challenges to deliver an enjoyable experience for all, including child-friendly dances. I recommend this band." Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region 14th July 2026 James - Wedding Photo of Telegraph Telegraph "Thank you Telegraph that was amazing, exactly what I had in mind!" Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Clemens Photo of nofing nofing "We just had a lovely evening listening to Nofing, with songs from artists as varied as Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the Beatles, Eurythmics, Ace of Base and even a really clever version of Down Under by Men at Work. Great evening of song memories, two wonderful voices, and some expert guitar playing. Would happily buy a CD and watch again. Merci Nofing!" Based in Ancenis, Pays de la Loire Region Sarah Kelly Photo of Mike & Tenzen - Acoustic shamanic folk Mike & Tenzen - Acoustic shamanic folk "Mike & Tenzen are able to make their instruments come to life and tell stories of their own. They have a diverse registry, varying from shamanic music with the didgeridoo being played, or their folk songs where they both sing." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium Livio - Maison du Quartier Ambiorix Photo of Antanjula Antanjula "Enticing concert by two outstanding artists. Their own compositions created moments of musical magic. Very special and unforgettable." Based in Gent, Flanders, Belgium Thomas Ossowski - Diplomatic event

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.
