Reviews of Folk Singers available in Lausanne

5/5 from 485 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 (49 miles from Lausanne) 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 (49 miles from Lausanne) Tim Bradford Photo of Roberta Scimè Roberta Scimè "We highly recommend Roberta Scimè for any musical performance. We had the pleasure of having her perform at our son’s wedding in Italy; Roberta arrived as agreed and sang three beautiful songs we had selected ourselves. She delivered the songs exquisitely and truly filled the venue with her voice. Her voice is incredibly beautiful, and we felt completely at ease working with her throughout the process. She was quick to respond and arrived well ahead of time. Should we need music in that country again, we would certainly reach out to Roberta once more. Our warmest recommendations. Lars & Marianne Harboe Denmark" Translated from Italian Based in Lake Como, Lombardy, Italy (131 miles from Lausanne) 20th September 2026 Marianne Harboe - Wedding Photo of Nadine & Marcus Belcanto Duo Milan Nadine & Marcus Belcanto Duo Milan "We perform the best of the italian songs adding their history, our is a form of concert lesson. We can perform in two or only me as a crooner." Based in Milan, Lombardy, Italy (143 miles from Lausanne) Marcus - Songs from the heart a mix of top italian melodies Photo of Gilles Gary Gilles Gary "Gilles Gary delivered a beautiful live performance at Maison de l’Oradou in Clermont-Ferrand. His music brought warmth, sincerity and a strong emotional connection to the room. He created a soulful and uplifting atmosphere while remaining professional, adaptable and easy to work with. A very genuine artist who fits perfectly in an intimate concert venue setting" Based in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France (177 miles from Lausanne) 19th June 2026 Maison de l’Oradou - Concert venue, Clermont-Ferrand Photo of Elise Elise "What a beautiful encounter! We were lucky enough to have Elise for our wedding, and we were won over from the first notes. A wonderful singer, with a magnificent voice that captivated all our guests. We only received compliments about her performance! She even learned two songs specially for our wedding to personalize this moment, and it was simply magical and full of emotion. ✨ Beyond her talent, Élise is a very beautiful person, human, gentle and kind. A huge thank you to her for helping make our wedding even more magical. We recommend her with our eyes closed! ❤️" Translated from French Based in Villeneuve-Loubet, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, France (198 miles from Lausanne) 29th September 2026 Vincent Tichet - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring folk singers is CHF280, with prices from CHF90 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 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.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. 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.
