Reviews of Folk Singers available in Saint Andrews

5/5 from 531 reviews
Photo of Annasach Ceilidh Band Annasach Ceilidh Band "The Annasach Ceilidh Band made the evening of our wedding in The Netherlands unforgettable, motivating Dutch and French feet alike to dance the Scottish steps. Even my 62-year-old aunt was on her feet all evening and remarked at the end that from now on, she only wants Scottish weddings. The band also dealt very professionally with some unforeseen circumstances, rebooking their own flights when their original flights were cancelled, taking a lot of stress away from us. I will happily recommend them for any wedding or party in Scotland or abroad, and look forward to visiting one of their Ceilidhs in Edinburgh when we next find ourselves there!" Based in Edinburgh, Scotland (31 miles from Saint Andrews) Barbara - Wedding Photo of Ted Christopher Ted Christopher "Brilliant night’s entertainment. Ted knows how to play to the crowd and can vary his sets based on who’s there and the crowds response." Based in Stirling, Scotland (46 miles from Saint Andrews) Bruce Miller - Party night. Photo of Bob Ferguson Songwriter Bob Ferguson Songwriter "Wonderful entertainer! Bob ‘reads’ the audience and keeps the mood, tempo and volume on point. He provided a wonderful afternoon of music and humour for mum’s 100th!" Based in Lanark, Scotland (60 miles from Saint Andrews) 16th May 2026 Julia Edgar - Birthday party Photo of David Marken - Guitar/Vocalist & DJ David Marken - Guitar/Vocalist & DJ "A massive thanks for contributing to what was a fantastic day for us both. It made it all the more special having you there, it brought back memories of our engagement and your performance was exactly what we were looking for! Our family and friends were also very impressed!" Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland (172 miles from Saint Andrews) Aaron & Stacey Best Photo of Matt Baxter Matt Baxter "Absolutely fantastic we had Matt for our wedding and from start to finish he made everything incredibly easy. His performance was fantastic, as was his voice and how he engaged with our guests if you’re considering booking Matt, go for it you will not be disappointed! An incredibly talented artist." Based in Leeds, England (182 miles from Saint Andrews) 19th August 2026 Adam Lofthouse - Wedding Photo of Peter Bull Peter Bull "We are so glad that we booked Peter to perform at our wedding drinks reception. He played music from a range of eras, and it was ideal for our festive winter wedding in a Medieval venue. We knew he’d be perfect as soon as we listened to some of his sample tracks online, and in person he was even better. Peter provided a great atmosphere, he was friendly and got on well with the guests. Peter phoned a couple of weeks before the event to discuss our preferences for musical eras and instruments. We asked for a range of things (including a few Christmas carols), with slightly more hurdy gurdy, as it’s our favourite period instrument. Our guests loved Peter’s performance, as did we, and we 100% recommend him for events. We’ve had lots of comments afterwards from people saying how great he was. Thank you, Peter, for helping to make our day so memorable and festive" Based in Leeds, England (182 miles from Saint Andrews) Cathy Charlton Wedding at Askham Hall, Cumbria - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring folk singers is £250, with prices from £80 to £850+. 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.
