Irish Bands in Oxfordshire
Irish folk, ceilidh and trad bands for events in Oxfordshire
Irish music works for almost any crowd. In Oxfordshire, Irish bands are booked to celebrate family roots at weddings, to lead a céilí at a party, to fill a marquee on St Patrick's weekend or simply to give a birthday the feel of a great night in a Dublin bar.
Whether your event is near Oxford, Banbury and Henley-on-Thames or elsewhere in Oxfordshire, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Caswell House, Primrose Hill Farm and Hadsham Farm. 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.
Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every Irish act here travels to Oxfordshire as standard, brings the equipment it needs, and the quote you receive includes travel. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.
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

- Sets for a drinks reception, a céilí evening or a full party night
- Travel is included in every quote

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.
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.
