Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Newcastle upon Tyne
Hire a folk-rock wedding band in Newcastle upon Tyne
For a wedding with a rustic, festival feel, a Mumford-style wedding band is hard to beat. Across Newcastle upon Tyne, 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 Newcastle upon Tyne, folk-rock wedding bands are booked for weddings in and around the Quayside, Jesmond and Gosforth. Venues in the area include The Parlour at Blagdon, Matfen Hall and Close House, 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.

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.
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.
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.
