Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Sheffield & South Yorkshire

Banjo, fiddle and foot-stomping folk for weddings in Sheffield & South Yorkshire

For a wedding with a rustic, festival feel, a Mumford-style wedding band is hard to beat. Across Sheffield & South Yorkshire, 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.

Sheffield & South Yorkshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Wortley Hall and Whitley Hall Hotel to Cutlers' Hall, Sheffield. Our folk-rock wedding bands travel right across the area, including Rotherham, Barnsley and Sheffield, so a festival-style wedding is never out of reach.

Within this category you'll find Mumford-style folk bands, bluegrass and hoedown acts, and folk-rock bands with a Celtic edge. Many play folk versions of pop and rock hits as well as the classic folk anthems, and their song lists show exactly what they cover.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The folk-rock wedding bands listed here all travel to Sheffield & South Yorkshire, 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

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

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.

Yes. Most folk-rock bands play folk-style versions of pop, rock and chart hits alongside folk anthems, so there's something for every guest. Each act's song list shows exactly what they cover.

“WOW! What an amazing team these guys are. Absolutely exceeded expectations, they had everyone dancing from the 1st song to the last, so chilled out, they had our guests joining in with them, they are so adaptable and read the crowd perfectly. The song snippets on their profile really don't do them justice, I would definitely book them again. Thank you so much for making an amazing day even better!”

“"Buskers & Sons were truly amazing when they played the day time of our wedding. Due to good weather they were able to play outside and it was just perfect. They had everyone up dancing and enjoying themselves with their excellent set list of songs old and new. We even had our impromptu first dance to them. All of our guests have expressed how much they loved Buskers & Sons, and they just made the day even more perfect. They are very lovely and talented young men and it was a pleasure to have them play at our wedding"”

“Mark and I just wanted to send you a quick email to say a huge thank you for everything on Saturday. We had the most incredible day, and as I am sure you could tell, were big fans of the music! You guys are really excellent and everyone has commented on how fantastic you were, so a huge thank you. At several points I think our entire wedding was on the dance floor, which is exactly what we had hoped for!Thank you for helping us to throw a great party, which there is no doubt everyone enjoyed.”

“Tommy & Sons were an excellent band choice for a client's summer party hosted at the Secret River Garden in Twickenham. As a new venue, I had some slight reservations about many aspects of the planning but booking this band, Tommy & Sons was not one of them! The guys were super polite, energetic, personable & friendly mingling (and singing too) with guests. Getting this particular client up and off their feet was a great achievement in itself! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone! Thank you for everything Hireaband - you made the booking process so easy and smooth. Best wishes, Paul F”

“"Buskers & Sons played at our wedding and the put on a fantastic show! They were fun with a creative flair for making songs their own including some great mixes/mash ups. Very professional but also just really nice guys who kept in contact ahead of the wedding, chilled out with us in the evening and even kindly learnt the song I requested for our first dance. The music was brilliant and our family and friends thoroughly enjoyed listening to them, as did we. I can't recommend them highly enough...what a great trio of talented young guys!"”

“A huge thank you to you and the rest of the band – We and everyone else really enjoyed it yesterday. We kept getting the “band is really good – where did you get them from.””
