Irish Bands in Hampshire
Book an Irish band in Hampshire
If you want an event with warmth, energy and a big singalong, an Irish band is hard to beat. Acts across Hampshire 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.
Popular event venues in Hampshire include Kimbridge Barn, Clock Barn and The Old Dairy at Hatherden Farm, and our Irish bands play events across the New Forest, Southampton and Portsmouth. Tell us your venue and the kind of night you have in mind when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.
Within this category you'll find traditional Irish groups, céilí and folk bands, Irish singers and duos, and Celtic rock bands. Many can play a gentle set early on and a full party set later, and their song lists show exactly what they cover.
We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every Irish act on this page covers Hampshire. Travel is built into the quote, the band brings what it needs to be heard, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.
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.
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.
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.
