5/5 from 279 reviews
Photo of Adar Alfandari Adar Alfandari "Adar played in my wedding ceremony, and I couldn't ask for a better job. We asked a specific song for our ceremony, 'I wanna be yours' by Arctic Monkeys, and Adar made a special version of it and even produced a stunning backing audio to go with his live performance in our event. It was very special and artistic and we got so many compliments." Based in Berlin Bar & Ofri - Wedding Photo of Devil in the Kitchen Devil in the Kitchen "Fantastic band, playing fantastic music. Devil in the Kitchen has to be one of the best bands touring Germany Their interpretation of Scottish / Irish music is unique Would recommend them for any trad. event. Devil in the Kitchen Go Bragh !!"

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 (405 miles from Berlin) Livio - Maison du Quartier Ambiorix Photo of Strello - Gipsy/Folk Trio Strello - Gipsy/Folk Trio "The trio provided the perfect musical accompaniment for our Christmas party and created a great atmosphere. The selection of pieces was varied and perfectly suited to the occasion. We were particularly impressed by the musicians’ professionalism and their harmonious ensemble playing. The music was never intrusive, but perfectly complemented the atmosphere whilst keeping everyone in good spirits. We also really appreciated the trio’s flexibility in accommodating our requests. Conclusion: A fantastic contribution to a successful celebration – we can wholeheartedly recommend the trio!"

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.
