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 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.

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.

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.

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.
