Irish Bands in Swansea
Irish folk, ceilidh and trad bands for events in Swansea
Few acts get a room joining in like an Irish band. Across Swansea, 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.
Popular event venues in Swansea include Oldwalls Gower, King Arthur Hotel and Oxwich Bay Hotel, and our Irish bands play events across Llanelli, Mumbles and Swansea Marina. Tell us your venue and the kind of night you have in mind when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.
Not every Irish act does the same job. A trad trio is perfect for a drinks reception or dinner, a céilí band runs the evening as a participation dance, and an Irish party band mixes ballads and folk-rock with modern covers to keep the dance floor full.

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.
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.
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.
