5/5 from 278 reviews
Photo of Ta mortakia Ta mortakia "The band was truly amazing. Themis, Magdalena and Antonia were very kind and professional. We had a wonderful evening and will surely invite them to our next event!" Based in Athens, Attica (154 miles from Zakynthos) 1st August 2026 Dor - Birthday Photo of Golden "Opa" Band Golden "Opa" Band "There’s something beautifully unpolished about Golden OPA Band. Not messy—human. Their sound has this lived‑in warmth, like stories passed down over wine and late nights. You don’t just hear them; you feel the room shift around them." Based in Athens, Attica (154 miles from Zakynthos) 4th February 2026 Julian Mercer Photo of Family Ties Family Ties "Many thanks for all the Support, Sound system and communication Mr Apostolos owner and dirrector of ''The Cult Caffe''. See you soon again..." Based in Athens, Attica (154 miles from Zakynthos) The Cult Caffe - Gigg Photo of Marianna Louma Marianna Louma "I had the pleasure of hiring Marianna for an event, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and she created such a warm and magical atmosphere throughout the night. She was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. All of our guests were impressed and kept asking about her afterwards. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing live performance, and I would love to book her again in the future!" Based in Volos, Thessaly (155 miles from Zakynthos) Ελένη Photo of Maria Ploumi Maria Ploumi "Maria Ploumi is an exceptional laouto player and singer, seamlessly blending traditional Greek music with contemporary influences. Her recent performance with Chrysoula K. & Púrpura was a masterclass in musicality and emotion. With her expressive laouto playing and warm vocals, Ploumi added depth and texture to a diverse repertoire spanning Greece, Argentina, Portugal, Armenia, and Italy. The band’s unique instrumentation—kanun, flute, cello, and laouto—created a rich, immersive soundscape, with Ploumi’s precision and artistry standing out as a highlight. Her synergy with lead singer Chrysoula Kechagioglou and the rest of the ensemble was remarkable, delivering a performance that was both technically impressive and deeply moving. Maria Ploumi’s ability to bridge musical traditions makes her a standout artist in today’s world music scene. Whether leading with her laouto or harmonizing in song, she brings an authenticity and passion that captivates audiences." Based in Ermoúpolis, South Aegean (223 miles from Zakynthos) Apostolos Maris - Concert Photo of The Zorband The Zorband "Great music band for our wedding. We could trust them in everything. Perfect." Based in Thessaloníki, Central Macedonia (226 miles from Zakynthos) Roman - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for folk bands on Gig Heaven is €600, with rates from €110 to €1,500+. 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.
