Irish Bands in London
Hire a live Irish band in London
Few acts get a room joining in like an Irish band. Across London, 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.
Across London, Irish bands are booked for events in and around Greenwich, Richmond and Kensington. Venues in the area include The Gore Hotel, The Lensbury and Eltham Palace, 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 London, 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
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.
A duo or trio typically starts from around £600, while a full Irish party or céilí band for the evening can reach £2,500 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.
Each Irish act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how a band works a room than any description can.
