Irish Bands in Northamptonshire
Irish folk, ceilidh and trad bands for events in Northamptonshire
Few acts get a room joining in like an Irish band. Across Northamptonshire, 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 Kettering, Wellingborough and Corby or elsewhere in Northamptonshire, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Home Farm Events, Park Farm, Daventry and Rushton Hall. 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.

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.
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.
