Reviews of Folk Singers available in Switzerland

5/5 from 505 reviews
Photo of David Häggi David Häggi "Häggi and the Strello Band were even better than we expected. All great musicians, they played so well and were so cool and down to earth. I would hire them again, and probably will!" Based in Bern, Canton of Bern 26th March 2026 Marion - Wedding Party Photo of The DooLallys The DooLallys "I first witnessed The DooLallys years ago at a kind of impromptu kitchen session. I think deeply soulful is the best way to describe their mix of pipes, strings, and song - seamless switches between O'Carolanesque 18th Century rave style to sweet balladeering, along with true and loving versions of traditional Irish music tunes, all layered with a knowing hedge school poetic sensibility." Based in Bern, Canton of Bern Tim Bradford Photo of Asgards Traditional Irish Music Asgards Traditional Irish Music "We couldn’t have been happier with Asgards at my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. They were absolutely fantastic and helped make a very special occasion even more memorable. The music was brilliant, the atmosphere was wonderful, and they kept everyone entertained throughout the night. They were also incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran smoothly. Alison was a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning: friendly, helpful and so easy to work with. We’re very grateful to the whole band for helping make the celebration such a success. I would highly recommend Asgards to anyone looking for a brilliant band for their event." Based in Kildare, Leinster, Ireland 12th November 2026 John Ryan - 50th Wedding Anniversary Photo of Romy B solo/duo Romy B solo/duo "Romy & Kandyce were absolutely incredible! Such talented musicians who created the most beautiful, relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for live entertainment. With everyone relaxing under the stars, enjoying beautiful music, delicious grazing platters and exploring the night sky, it really was a special evening." Based in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia 12th November 2026 Petrina - Shire of Waroona, Stargazing Event Photo of Matt Baxter Matt Baxter "We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better singer and guitarist to be part of our special day! From start to finish, the vibes were incredible, Matt created the perfect atmosphere and making our wedding breakfast feel even more magical. All of our guests said he was one of the highlights from our day! If you’re looking for a talented singer and guitarist who can create amazing vibes, deliver a truly incredible performance and make your wedding feel extra special then Matt is the one! He brought the perfect blend of talent, atmosphere and personal touches to our day. Thank you so much Matt for being such a big part of our day" Based in Leeds, England, United Kingdom 28th October 2026 Rebecca Shave - Wedding Photo of Zora Zora "Zora was super reliable, committed and simply wonderful! A great voice, beautiful and perfectly fitting music, and a really pleasant collaboration all round. We would book her again at any time and can recommend her 100%!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring folk singers is CHF280, with prices from CHF120 to CHF950+. 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 in Switzerland 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. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
