Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Hull & East Yorkshire

Banjo, fiddle and foot-stomping folk for weddings in Hull & East Yorkshire

Folk-rock bands are one of the most popular choices for barn and marquee weddings. Wedding bands across Hull & East Yorkshire bring banjo, mandolin, fiddle and double bass, often play an acoustic set during the drinks reception, then turn the evening into a full-on foot-stomping party.

Popular event venues in Hull & East Yorkshire include Sledmere House, Tickton Grange Hotel and Burton Constable Hall, and our folk-rock wedding bands play weddings across Beverley, Hull and Bridlington. Tell us your venue and the feel you're after when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

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 Hull & East Yorkshire. 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

Start with the kind of wedding day you want. For a barn or marquee wedding, a four or five-piece with banjo, fiddle and a stomp box gives the full festival feel. For a smaller party, an acoustic trio can bring the same sound at a lower volume.

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.

Each folk-rock band's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how a band works a room than any description can.

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.

“Hired the band for our School Burns Night and was blown away by their professionalism and performance! They had all our staff on their feet to dance the night away. Lovely friendly guys, would not hesitate to book them again! Cannot recommend them highly enough!”

(5)

““Buskers & Sons are the most brilliant band!! They are organised, easy to deal with, lovely people and they know how to rock a party. There was a fantastic mix of tunes on the evening, some great classics, soulful stuff and music that made everybody want to dance. Their music is thoughtful and uplifting and they are all really talented musicians. They all changed instruments and the music never got boring. Lots of our wedding guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music, at the end of the evening the dance floor was full. Choosing the band for a wedding is a big decision and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Buskers & Sons!””

“A huge, huge thank you from all of us here for your tremendous music on Saturday night. You were brilliant! You chose great songs to play which got lots of people up dancing and made the party go with a swing. I had many super comments and feedback about you. We were really thrilled we had asked you to cover the evening. Thank you for talking me through the microphone, too. It worked fine. We appreciated your fantastic music so much and will definitely pass your details on to anyone wanting a band. Please thank the others for me. We might see you again at friends’ events. If so, we will come and say hello!”

“They were absolutely incredible. The quality of the performance was every bit as good (if not better than) the videos on the website, but far more importantly was how amazing they were as people. The guys were all wonderful to have at the wedding - fun, professional and able to read the crowd like only the best bands can. We had a full dance floor all night (with the exception of a couple of tracks dancing in the rain, fully supported by the band themselves!) We cannot recommend them enough!”

(5)

““A huge thank you to Buskers & Sons! We chose them as our wedding band on a recommendation and we are so glad we did! The communication was excellent from the start and they learnt 2 of the songs we requested, putting their own spin on them. They are so much more than your standard wedding band - they have a wide range of songs on their set list and the fact that they swap instruments makes them stand out. They were highly professional throughout and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or book them again.””

(5)

“Thank you for the fabulous music The Sherlocks provided for our wedding. From the first dance to the last one that you played – the choice of music was spot on and we had so many positive comments from the guests who loved you. Thank you for creating such a great atmosphere – it was really the perfect evening.”
