Photo of Flamenco, World Music & more Flamenco, World Music & more "Exactly what we had requested and provided pleasant background music. Lovely Spanish acoustic music ." Based in Gothenburg, Västra Götaland County, Sweden (122 miles from Tønsberg) Sarah Grech - ESPC 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, Germany (480 miles from Tønsberg) 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 !!" Based in Zutphen, Gelderland, Netherlands (519 miles from Tønsberg) Joe Maartens - Haus Schmidthausen Photo of Annasach Ceilidh Band Annasach Ceilidh Band "The Annasach Ceilidh Band made the evening of our wedding in The Netherlands unforgettable, motivating Dutch and French feet alike to dance the Scottish steps. Even my 62-year-old aunt was on her feet all evening and remarked at the end that from now on, she only wants Scottish weddings. The band also dealt very professionally with some unforeseen circumstances, rebooking their own flights when their original flights were cancelled, taking a lot of stress away from us. I will happily recommend them for any wedding or party in Scotland or abroad, and look forward to visiting one of their Ceilidhs in Edinburgh when we next find ourselves there!" Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom (552 miles from Tønsberg) Barbara - Wedding Photo of Bob Ferguson Songwriter Bob Ferguson Songwriter "We all had an amazing night, all the sailors loved your performance and it really made a massive difference to the night, it really brightened up the spirits of everyone and made it a night to remember, extremely worth it and a very fair price. Keep in touch bob." Based in Lanark, Scotland, United Kingdom (581 miles from Tønsberg) 21st October 2026 Daniel Kokocinski - HMS Glasgow Pickle Night Photo of Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band "The band were wonderful and so accommodating with our requests for the night which helped to make it just that little bit more special. So many of our guests commented on the fantastic music!" Based in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom (591 miles from Tønsberg) Heather Kennedy

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.
