Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Shropshire

Hire a folk-rock wedding band in Shropshire

If you want your wedding to feel like the best tent at a summer festival, a Mumford & Sons style wedding band is the one to book. In Shropshire, these bands play weddings first and foremost, and their mix of folk, bluegrass and rock covers suits guests of every age.

Popular event venues in Shropshire include Park House Hotel - Shifnal, Davenport House and Hawkstone Hall & Gardens, and our folk-rock wedding bands play weddings across Shrewsbury, Telford and Bridgnorth. Tell us your venue and the feel you're after when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every folk-rock wedding band here travels to Shropshire as standard, brings the equipment it needs, and the quote you receive includes travel. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

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

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.

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

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.

“Hickory Smoke were a great band for a wedding and got people up on the floor for a really good ceilidh. They were flexible with timings and volume and great people to deal with. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.”

“Played great sets at our wedding in Switzerland, both jazz at the aperitif, and rock/pop/indie at the party. 4 piece including sax. Something for everyone, everyone got on the dancefloor from my 91 year old great uncle to all my friends.”

(5)

“These guys are absolute gems. Top musicians with an extensive repertoire of songs spanning many genres. These gentleman played out our wedding, were easy to deal with and very organised. Would 100% recommend booking the Busketeers for any occasion, or watching them at one of the many venues they play around the southwest. I hope they go far, lovely bunch of lads!”
