Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Cumbria

Book a Mumford & Sons style wedding band in Cumbria

If you want your wedding to feel like the best tent at a summer festival, a Mumford & Sons style wedding band is the one to book. In Cumbria, these bands play weddings first and foremost, and their mix of folk, bluegrass and rock covers suits guests of every age.

Across Cumbria, folk-rock wedding bands are booked for weddings in and around Carlisle, Penrith and Windermere. Venues in the area include Loweswater Village Hall, Eden Barn and Askham Hall, 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.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every folk-rock wedding band on this page covers Cumbria. Travel is built into the quote, the band brings what it needs to be heard, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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.

Expect to pay from around £1,000 for a smaller band up to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an acoustic reception set. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

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.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

It's a folk-rock band built around acoustic instruments like banjo, mandolin, fiddle and acoustic guitar, with a driving beat from a kick drum or stomp box. They play folk anthems and folk-style versions of pop and rock hits.

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.

From around £1,000 for a smaller band to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up. The number of musicians, the date and the length of the booking make the biggest difference, and travel is always included in the quote.

It's one of the most popular choices. The acoustic instruments and foot-stomping energy suit barns, marquees and outdoor venues, and the sound works well in rooms where a louder band might struggle.

“Been meaning to say thank you, Tommy & Sons were absolutely amazing at our wedding – full of energy, really finished our day off perfectly.”

“Tommy & Sons were a fantastic band who went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs and really finished off our wedding celebrations with a bang. They were fun, friendly, polite and super flexible to time changes on the day. They are brilliant musicians that covered an amazing array of songs and with such a great energy that the dance floor was never empty. They were in touch in good time, listened to our requests and were forever reassuring (important for a stressed bride) and professional. I'd hire them again in an instant - we had so many comments after about how good the band were. Hireaband were super helpful, friendly and responsive, a very good service”

“Tommy & Sons were absolutely incredible. They nailed our first song they learned especially, and kept the party going all night with classics! Everyone commented how great they are. And of top of that, they are also such fun and friendly guys - the perfect addition to our special day.”

(5)

“Brendan & I wanted to send you an email to say thank you so much for playing on our wedding day. We had the best time ever and you guys were great. From the first song, performing You're my best friend as our first dance until the bitter end of the night, it was brilliant! All of our guests still go on about how great you guys were. Also thank you for putting up with us rowdy lot! It really was the perfect evening for us. You're an incredible band. Thanks again.”

“Ian and the guys were fantastic! They made the evening so fun and were all very friendly, chatty and of course talented! Absolutely brilliant! I've had guests asking for details on how to book them too (ranging from friends who are also planning a wedding to my Granddad for his 80th birthday!). Initially a little anxious about booking online, I must say Irving at Hireaband was so helpful (and the band so great) I can't recommend you all enough. Thanks for helping make the day perfect!”

(5)

“Thank you so much for recommending Tommy & Sons to us. They were absolutely amazing at our wedding and we could not have asked for a better band to perform for us. They had everyone up dancing and sang a variety of songs for all age ranges and everyone said how good they were. Not only that the guys were great company.”
