Irish Bands in Cambridgeshire
Irish music for weddings and parties in Cambridgeshire
Few acts get a room joining in like an Irish band. Across Cambridgeshire, these bands play traditional jigs and reels, Irish ballads, céilí dances and rousing folk-rock covers, and they're a favourite for weddings, family parties and St Patrick's celebrations.
Popular event venues in Cambridgeshire include Bassmead Manor Barns, Childerley Barn and Trinity Hall, and our Irish bands play events across Huntingdon, St Neots and Peterborough. Tell us your venue and the kind of night you have in mind when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.
Irish music covers a lot of ground. Some acts are traditional trad groups playing jigs, reels and slow airs, some are céilí bands with a caller who teaches every dance, and others mix Irish folk with pop and rock covers for a party set. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the right fit.

The essentials:
- Typical cost: from around £600 for a solo singer or duo to £2,500 or more for a full band, depending on line-up, date and set times
- Traditional trad, céilí, Irish folk, ballads and Celtic rock
- Sets for a drinks reception, a céilí evening or a full party night
- Travel is included in every quote
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
Start with the kind of night you want. A drinks reception or dinner suits an acoustic trad trio or duo; a wedding evening or big birthday suits an Irish party band; and if you want everyone up dancing together, a céilí band with a caller is the one to book.
Most Irish music bookings fall between about £600 and £2,500. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long they play, and St Patrick's weekend books up early. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
Rather than a generic demo, each act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio, a song list and client reviews. Between them you'll get a clear sense of the sound and the show well before the day.
The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
