Irish Bands in Coventry
Irish folk, ceilidh and trad bands for events in Coventry
If you want an event with warmth, energy and a big singalong, an Irish band is hard to beat. Acts across Coventry 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.
Whether your event is near Nuneaton, Leamington Spa and the city centre or elsewhere in Coventry, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Wethele Manor, The Old Hall Hotel and Bourton Hall. If you're planning a céilí, it's worth checking the size of the dance floor with the venue early on.
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 Coventry, 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.

A solo singer or duo suits a pub-style night or a small gathering. For a wedding or a big party, a four or five-piece band with fiddle and banjo fills the room properly. Tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.
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.
