Where can I hire Folk Style bands in the UK?

Hire premium Folk Style bands through Tailored Entertainment, a trusted UK live music agency. We represent the country’s top acts, with videos, photos, set lists and booking details available on our website. Each booking is secured with a formal contract, typically requiring a 20% deposit to confirm, with the balance due 28 days before your event. Our bands perform nationwide, including in cities like London, Manchester and Bristol.

How much does it cost to hire a Folk Style band?

Prices for professional Folk Style bands start at around £1,650, ensuring top-tier musicians, high-quality equipment and production suitable for any venue. Costs vary based on band size, event type and performance requirements, with premium acts potentially costing more due to their exceptional talent and reputation.

How far in advance should I book a Folk Style band?

We recommend booking your Folk Style band 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak dates like summer weekends. Popular acts are often booked early, so securing your band sooner ensures the best selection of showstopping performers for your wedding, party or corporate event.

How long do Folk Style bands perform?

Most Folk Style bands perform 2 x 60-minute or 3 x 40-minute live sets as standard, delivering high-energy, stomp-and-clap folk-inspired music. All Tailored Entertainment bands include a bespoke DJ service before and after their sets, ensuring seamless entertainment throughout your event.

How long does it take for a Folk Style band to set up and sound check?

Folk Style bands typically require up to 90 minutes for setup and sound checks. Smaller line-ups may take less time, while larger acts with extensive production may need more. Our team coordinates with you in advance to ensure a smooth schedule on the day.

Can Folk Style bands perform during drinks receptions or welcome events?

Yes, many of our Folk Style bands offer optional drinks reception sets. These often feature an intimate, acoustic sound, ideal for adding a rustic folk vibe. You can explore additional entertainment options, such as acoustic folk trios featuring instruments like the upright bass and banjo, to enhance your event’s atmosphere.

Can I choose the songs my Folk Style band will play?

Absolutely. Our bands provide curated set lists designed to capture the folk style vibe, but they’re happy to tailor their performance to your preferences. Share your must-play favourites or any tracks to avoid for a personalised experience.

Do your Folk Style bands only play Folk and Mumford & Sons songs?

While our bands specialise in the authentic Folk/Americana style, their full party sets are highly diverse. They often play classic party anthems, rock hits and modern pop tracks, all re-imagined and performed with their unique folk instrumentation (banjo, upright bass, acoustic guitar). This creates a unique, high-energy sound that guarantees a full dance floor, regardless of your guests' musical tastes.

Will my Folk Style band perform a special request or first dance?

Yes, our bands are delighted to learn and perform a special request, such as a first dance for weddings or a key song for corporate or party events. We’ll confirm your choice in advance to allow ample preparation time.

Do Folk Style bands provide their own equipment?

Yes, all Tailored Entertainment Folk Style bands are fully self-contained, bringing premium sound and lighting equipment. A bespoke DJ service is included as standard, covering all your event’s entertainment needs in one booking.
