Irish Bands on the Isle of Wight
Book an Irish band on the Isle of Wight
Few acts get a room joining in like an Irish band. Across the Isle of Wight, 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.
Whether your event is near Ryde, Freshwater and Cowes or elsewhere on the Isle of Wight, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Cowes Yacht Haven, Albert Cottage Hotel and Appuldurcombe House. If you're planning a céilí, it's worth checking the size of the dance floor with the venue early on.
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.

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.
