Irish Bands in Shropshire
Book an Irish band in Shropshire
An Irish band turns any celebration into a proper session. In Shropshire, Irish acts are booked for weddings, St Patrick's Day parties, milestone birthdays, pub-style nights and corporate events, bringing fiddle, whistle, banjo and bodhrán along with the songs everyone knows the words to.
Popular event venues in Shropshire include The Mill Barns, Davenport House and Hawkstone Hall & Gardens, and our Irish bands play events across Oswestry, Bridgnorth and Telford. Tell us your venue and the kind of night you have in mind when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.
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 Shropshire 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:

- 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
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.
Most Irish music bookings fall between about £600 and £2,500. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long they play, and St Patrick's weekend books up early. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
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.
Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
