Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Blackpool

Book a Mumford & Sons style wedding band in Blackpool

A Mumford & Sons style wedding band brings banjos, stomp boxes and big harmonies to your dance floor. In Blackpool, these folk-rock wedding bands are booked for barn weddings, marquee receptions and festival-themed celebrations, playing high-energy folk versions of chart hits alongside the foot-stomping anthems every guest knows.

Across Blackpool, folk-rock wedding bands are booked for weddings in and around the Promenade, Lytham St Annes and Poulton-le-Fylde. Venues in the area include The Imperial Hotel, North Promenade, Grand Hotel Blackpool and Blackpool Tower Ballroom, and barns, marquees and gardens like these are exactly where this style of band shines.

Folk-rock bands vary in style. Some stick close to the Mumford & Sons sound with banjo and stomp box, some lean towards bluegrass and country, and others add a Celtic or Irish twist. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the one that fits your event.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every folk-rock wedding band here travels to Blackpool 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 £1,000 for a smaller band to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up, depending on date and set times
  • Mumford-style folk, bluegrass, hoedown and folk-rock covers
  • Acoustic reception sets and full evening party sets
  • Travel is included in every quote
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

A trio suits a small party or a drinks reception. For a wedding evening or a large corporate party, a four to six-piece with drums or a stomp box fills the room properly. Tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

A trio or four-piece typically starts from around £1,000, while a larger band for an afternoon and evening can reach £3,000 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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Most can. Many bands offer an unplugged set for the drinks reception, often moving among guests, before their full evening set. Mention it when you enquire and we'll include it in the quote.

Yes. Bands bring their own PA and lighting for the evening set, and acoustic sets need little or nothing. The full band needs floor space and power nearby, so check both with your venue, along with any sound limiter.

“Thank you so much for a great night on Saturday, everyone has commented on how amazing you were. Several people have asked for your contact details so we have passed them on for you.”

“From first contact through to booking the band Irving at hireaband was excellent, really patient and willing to give us advice on different bands to suit our taste. Tommy & Sons were outstanding! They were playing my dad’s wake for us which could have been a sombre affair but they got the place bouncing and the dance floor filled straight away. They were even willing to do a couple of non playlist songs for us that everyone loved. Everyone in attendance agreed that Tommy & Sons turned it into the send off he would have wanted. Thanks again”

We loved having our first dance performed by you live, it was so special and perfect, and we both thought you performed it really well.Thank you for also being so accommodating with Ryan's performance.We'd happily recommend you for anything in the future, so do let me know if there is anything we can do.”
