Irish Bands in Surrey
Irish folk, ceilidh and trad bands for events in Surrey
Few acts get a room joining in like an Irish band. Across Surrey, 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 Farnham, Dorking and Epsom or elsewhere in Surrey, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Hampton Court House, Gate Street Barn and Ramster 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.
Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The Irish acts listed here all travel to Surrey, 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.

- Travel is included in every quote
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
A céilí band runs the night as a series of group dances, with a caller walking guests through the steps. An Irish party band plays a set to dance to freely, mixing ballads and folk favourites with well-known covers. Some acts can do a céilí section and then a party set.
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.
