Book The Folky Wedding Band for your event - with a rich and varied repertoire of sure-fire, lively party tunes, 3 and 4 part vocal harmonies, pulsing infectious grooves and a lively sense of fun, they hope you will enjoy a great night of live music.
With the addition of our optional fiddle player The Folky Wedding Band can also play traditional jigs and reels and a whole range of Irish songs, as well as their mainstream party set.
As well as their wide ranging party/celebration set, The Folky Wedding Band also specialise in Irish themed events featuring jigs and reels played by our special guest fiddler, interspersed with traditional Irish songs and modern Irish Rock. This can all be separate to, or an extension of, the rest of their repertoire. They can even incorporate a barn-dance or ceilidh section into the evening if required!
Why book this The Folky Wedding Band for your wedding?
There is nothing quite like a great live band to create a party atmosphere and truly round off a special day. They like to think they have a rare talent and affinity for doing this. Weddings for them are a joy to play.
The evening entertainment is not just the icing on the cake, it can be an absolute high point that people remember for many years afterwards. It’s the last thing your guests remember as they totter off into the night with that classic song in their heads, even if they don’t recall getting home!
What makes a great live wedding band?
A strong repertoire of well played songs and a good connection with the audience.
A great live wedding band knows its audience, interacts well with them and can cope with the many and varied situations that can arise in front of them, departing from the plan, if there is one, when necessary.
Sheer experience, expertise and professionalism need to be combined with a genuine enthusiasm for the job without which they simply would not have become so good at what they do over several years of solid work in this business.
They have a natural affinity for looking after your whole evening, from the first dance until the end of the night.
Their vast experience of doing this has given them a keen awareness of the needs of their clients, and of the venues that recommend them. They understand that client focus is paramount, as well as a sense of fun and good humour.
No matter how much you plan, no matter how detailed your conceptions are as to the music you want or that people will like, there are certain things you can never predict.
They pride themselves on being able to respond flexibly to the situation on the dance floor at any given moment, and a big part of that is the sheer size and range of their repertoire, the quality of their arrangements, and their knowledge of which songs work best when, and why.
