Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Lancashire

Book a Mumford & Sons style wedding band in Lancashire

For a wedding with a rustic, festival feel, a Mumford-style wedding band is hard to beat. Across Lancashire, 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.

Popular event venues in Lancashire include West Tower, Bartle Hall and Mitton Hall, and our folk-rock wedding bands play weddings across Chorley, Preston and Clitheroe. 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The folk-rock wedding bands listed here all travel to Lancashire, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound set-up where it's needed. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

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

Check the room and any sound limiter before you choose. Folk-rock bands can play quieter than a typical covers band, which helps at venues with a limiter, but the full evening set still needs power and floor space.

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

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.

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.

“Tommy & Sons were AMAZING! such a talented band who also happen to be the nicest bunch of lads. They were everything we wanted and so much more. All of our guests (old and young) said the same. Thank you so much!!!”

(5)

“Can't rate the guys highly enough, they were fantastic! They read the crowd and knew what to play which resulted in a fantastic atmosphere at our wedding. Plus they nailed our first dance song which they had learnt especially for us. In fact our guests were so impressed one couple want to book them for their wedding in the New Year! All in all the booking of the band and the performance Tommy & Sons gave was one of the least stressful admin elements of the whole day and we thought they are worth every penny (and in fact a whole lot more!).”

(5)

“Michael and I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday at Hedingham Castle - you guys were absolutely amazing and made the whole evening so much fun. We especially loved the mini nightclub vibe on the dance floor at the end, everyone had such a great time and I think pretty much every guest came up to us to tell us that, and asked how we found you! Thanks so much again, hope you all enjoyed yourselves too.”

“Tommy & Sons are great guys - great band and everyone had a superb time. The audience were of a very mixed age range but all enjoyed it. Would highly recommend this band, Still recovering - made my 60th birthday a night to remember.”
