Irish Bands in Newcastle upon Tyne
Irish music for weddings and parties in Newcastle upon Tyne
Few acts get a room joining in like an Irish band. Across Newcastle upon Tyne, 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 the Quayside, Tynemouth and Gosforth or elsewhere in Newcastle upon Tyne, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include The Biscuit Factory, The Vermont Hotel and Wylam Brewery. If you're planning a céilí, it's worth checking the size of the dance floor with the venue early on.
Irish music covers a lot of ground. Some acts are traditional trad groups playing jigs, reels and slow airs, some are céilí bands with a caller who teaches every dance, and others mix Irish folk with pop and rock covers for a party set. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the right fit.

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.
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.
