Folkswagon

Thank you so much for performing at our wedding. You were amazing and made our day so much more special! Would highly recommend, even being nearly 8 months pregnant and a bride I was up dancing my feet off !!!

Folkswagon

Hireaband were great throughout the entire booking process. Very communicative with swift replies to emails and very helpful responses.

We rearranged our wedding 3 times and it was never ever any trouble to transfer the booking to a new date at no additional cost.

Folkswagon were incredible. The band were very friendly and accommodating, nothing seemed too much trouble. They played a daytime set as well as an evening show, both were perfect. We had a full dancefloor and lots of comments from our guests on how great the band were. The guys also did a brilliant job playing our first dance song. We would highly recommend!

Folkswagon pulled out all the stops to help us rock the night away. From the kids to the grandparents, they had a tune for everyone. A must have for any wedding!

I wanted to say a massive thank you for finding this amazing band Folkswagon for the event yesterday. Our Director and team were super thrilled to have them. We got a lot of filming done with the band and I guess the edit will decide what is happening with the music. Super thanks guys for everything. Paul, Ollie & Matteo were very helpful and cooperative.

We usually run around and speak to everyone at live shows. Folkswagon captivated us! We didn’t speak, we listened. Excellent!
