Photo of Mariachi Wey Mariachi Wey "AMAZING! so much energy and joy when you arrived on Thursday 10th at AICS Group! thank you for such an amazing time, had us all dancing on our feet..thank you!" Based in Bristol, England (20 miles from Frome) Chris Asumadu - Corporate event Photo of Platform 1 Platform 1 "Platform 1 produce music that is uniquely beautiful. Like a bright red tie in a room full of beige, their songs have a brilliant uniqueness. With chord structures from Josh containing a subtle chromaticism blended with Martha's faultless vocal they are one of a kind." Based in Bristol, England (20 miles from Frome) Dan James BGfm Radio Photo of The Deltas The Deltas "The best birthday surprise possible! I knew my husband was going to organise something special as he always likes to go all our but this was the icing on the cake! The band even performed a special coldplay song at his request for me! I feel like a very lucky lady!" Based in Weston-super-Mare, England (29 miles from Frome) Maura Hemming - Birthday Party Photo of Cat's Claw Ceilidh Band Cat's Claw Ceilidh Band "Wow, what a wonderful evening! Last Friday night was so much fun and it was such a real pleasure to collaborate with you all at Cat's Claw. It was a magical night and it was lovely to see the two worlds of music come together so successfully. Our musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales very much enjoyed working with you all and it was great to hear that you too all had a great time. I also think that from the audience's reaction that everyone who was present also very much enjoyed the evening. In particular, my Mum absolutely LOVED the evening and was blown away by hearing all of the music that she loves so much played so brilliantly! Sincere thanks for your invaluable contribution to such a special evening celebrating St David's Day." Based in Cardiff, Wales (41 miles from Frome) Suzanne; BBC orchestra organiser - St David's Day Concert, BBC National Orchestra of Wales; March 2019 Photo of ClusterFolk ClusterFolk "Clusterfolk played at my wedding last weekend and were absolutely amazing. They were the perfect backdrop to my wedding reception and played a mix of instrumentals and vocals. We received many compliments regarding the music and quality, and the guys are truly lovely and easy to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again" Based in Southampton, England (46 miles from Frome) Aoife - Wedding Photo of Oak & Brass Oak & Brass "Oak & Brass were fantastic and a brilliant surprise for a 60th Birthday party. They were really easy to communicate with beforehand and kindly learned some of the birthday girls favourite songs for the big day. We were up and dancing the minute they started and I don't think any of the party sat down from the moment they arrived. Everyone at the party was raving about the music the day after.... I would book again in an instant. Thanks Oak & Brass!" Based in Southampton, England (46 miles from Frome) Emily Davis - Private Party

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.
