Irish Bands in Cornwall

Irish folk, ceilidh and trad bands for events in Cornwall

If you want an event with warmth, energy and a big singalong, an Irish band is hard to beat. Acts across Cornwall range from acoustic trad trios and solo Irish singers to full céilí bands and Celtic rock groups, and they play weddings, parties and festivals all year round.

Across Cornwall, Irish bands are booked for events in and around Padstow, Truro and Falmouth. Venues in the area include Pengenna Manor, Nancarrow Farm and Boconnoc House, all with room for a céilí floor or an acoustic session during the drinks.

Not every Irish act does the same job. A trad trio is perfect for a drinks reception or dinner, a céilí band runs the evening as a participation dance, and an Irish party band mixes ballads and folk-rock with modern covers to keep the dance floor full.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The Irish acts listed here all travel to Cornwall, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound set-up where it's needed. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

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

Check the room and any sound limiter before you choose. Acoustic trad acts work almost anywhere, while amplified Irish party and Celtic rock bands need power and floor space. For a céilí, the size of the dance floor matters most.

Expect to pay from around £600 for a solo singer or duo up to £2,500 or more for a full band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as a céilí caller or a longer set. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

Every act's page has video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, their repertoire and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the atmosphere before you commit.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
