Reviews of Folk Bands available in Stockholm

5/5 from 271 reviews
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 (247 miles from Stockholm) 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 (503 miles from Stockholm) 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 (676 miles from Stockholm) Joe Maartens - Haus Schmidthausen Photo of Triskelt Triskelt "It was such an absolute pleasure to have you all be such an amazing part of our special day. The guests loved you (and so do we, still). You've been amazing from start to finish, from planning to the big day itself! We highly recommend Triskelt! 10/10" Based in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium (774 miles from Stockholm) 15th September 2026 Janna & Sidène - Private Wedding 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." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium (795 miles from Stockholm) Livio - Maison du Quartier Ambiorix 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 (816 miles from Stockholm) Barbara - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for folk bands on Gig Heaven is kr6,500, with rates from kr1,100 to kr17,000+. 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.
