Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Durham
Foot-stomping folk wedding bands in Durham
For a wedding with a rustic, festival feel, a Mumford-style wedding band is hard to beat. Across Durham, these bands mix acoustic instruments with a driving beat, playing Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and hoedown-style covers that get every generation of your family up and dancing.
Across Durham, folk-rock wedding bands are booked for weddings in and around Chester-le-Street, Durham and Sedgefield. Venues in the area include Lumley Castle, Beamish Hall Hotel and Hardwick Hall Hotel, and barns, marquees and gardens like these are exactly where this style of band shines.
Not every folk-rock band does the same job. Some are best known for their acoustic sets during a drinks reception, some for a full-volume evening party, and many do both in a single booking, moving from the lawn to the dance floor.

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.
Most folk-rock wedding bookings fall between about £1,000 and £3,000. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long they play, and summer weekends book up first. 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.
