He was amazing, professional, and made everything so easy and enjoyable. Our guests loved him, and he helped make our wedding even more memorable. We highly recommend Caleb and his services to anyone looking for someone amazing. Thank you so much, Caleb!"

Many guests at our wedding were asking who she was because they were so impressed! Would absolutely hire her again for an event but she will probably be too famous by then haha" Based in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia (3,323 miles from Hamilton) 4th November 2025 Alex Brown - Wedding in Margaret River Photo of Paul Hutton - Musician Paul Hutton - Musician "We hired Paul and his band, Pan Island Jam to play at our wedding last year. They have an extensive library of songs and even learnt a couple of kiwi classics for us which brought the house down and got everyone up on their feet! Great energy and if we need a band again in Singapore, we know exactly where to look. Thanks guys" Based in Singapore, Central Singapore, Singapore (5,268 miles from Hamilton) 19th November 2025 Liam Shaw Photo of Mark Hildebrand Mark Hildebrand "It was treat to see Mark perform at the Sumner festival I attended. He is clearly dedicated to his craft and his hard work shows through in his skill. His guitar playing in particular is second to none. I also thoroughly enjoyed his honest and inclusive approach to other performers. His great talent and lack of ego are utterly refreshing." Based in Langley, British Columbia, Canada (7,099 miles from Hamilton) Janice R - Summer music festival

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring folk singers is $600, with prices from $190 to $2,000+. Pricing depends on the singer's experience, performance duration and whether they perform with a guitar, other instruments or backing tracks. Folk singers suit a range of settings from intimate acoustic performances to larger outdoor events.

The folk singers for hire perform traditional folk, contemporary folk, Celtic, acoustic singer-songwriter material and folk-influenced popular music. Many folk singers accompany themselves on guitar, banjo or other acoustic instruments.

Hiring folk singers is ideal for weddings, pub and bar events, festivals, private parties, corporate dinners and intimate gatherings. The acoustic, storytelling style of folk music creates a warm, personal atmosphere that suits a wide range of settings.

Many folk singers offer flexible performance options, from solo acoustic sets to performances with additional musicians such as a guitarist, fiddle player or small ensemble. It is worth discussing line-up options with the singer when requesting a quote.

For small, intimate venues, many folk singers can perform without amplification. For larger spaces or outdoor events, a small PA system is usually needed. Most folk singers bring their own amplification equipment. It is worth confirming the setup with the singer based on the venue.

Many are writers as well as performers and will mix their own songs with traditional material and familiar covers. The balance is usually the booker's choice and most are happy to lean either way. For an event where guests should recognise what they hear, say so, because a set of entirely new songs makes for a different evening.

Singalong choruses are part of the tradition and many performers use them deliberately, choosing songs a room can pick up inside a verse. How far it goes depends on the crowd and the point in the evening, and a good performer reads that rather than forcing it. Events wanting a quieter listening set should say so, as the same singer can do either.

A live folk musician working a pub or bar usually plays two or three shorter sets across an evening rather than one continuous performance, with an audience that comes and goes. The setup is lighter, since there is rarely a stage and the corner of a room is the normal spot. Rates for this work differ from function bookings, so it is worth saying which kind of event it is when enquiring.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments.
