Photo of Kenny Karr Kenny Karr "Kenny played for a 50th Birthday party and he was great! He asked for a set list and played the songs we requested as well as many others! Everyone at the party raved at how great he was, truly a blast! Kenny was so easy to communicate with, very prompt and professional. I would highly recommend Kenny for you next party entertainment! ~Stephanie C." Based in Houston, Texas Stephanie C. - Birthday Party Photo of The Magpies The Magpies "We were so excited to have The Magpies play and sing for our AACA Christmas party! Our caterer bailed on us and we found a restaurant to bring food, but it took a long time, however the time flew by listening to these ladies with beautiful songs everyone knew! Lovely, lively piano & guitar and fantastic vocals including Holiday songs for Christmas! They saved the day for us by keeping the party going!

We're still talking about it at breakfast." Based in New Orleans, Louisiana (317 miles from Houston) 21st September 2026 Adrienne Shulman Photo of Dunlap and Mabe Dunlap and Mabe "I watched their promo video and thought this band would be a great fit for our community gathering. My main job is in concert audio, and I work with bands every week. I've done high main stream bands and garage bands, Robert Mabe put on a performance that was breath taking amazing. His band's sound was like nothing anyone has heard, our audience was silent with anticipation of the band's next musical note. Before the show was over city officials asked me for their contact info to bring them in for next year's fair concert. This band is worth 10 times what they charge. They are the real deal and will blow away your audience. And yes we're bringing them back." Based in Winchester, Virginia (1,173 miles from Houston) Joshua B. - Concert Photo of Violinist & Band Violinist & Band "Amazing musicians! Variety of music styles and songs. We hired Emil with his band for our Corporate event and they were a huge hit! Everyone was up on their feet dancing along the whole night. Incredibly nice and such a pleasure to work with them! Emil made sure the playlist targeted our whole audience and sounded awesome. I would definitely recommend them for any and all events and hope to work with them again!"

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.
