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."

Very special and unforgettable." Based in Gent, Flanders, Belgium (163 miles from Paris) Thomas Ossowski - Diplomatic event 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."

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.
