Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Somerset
Banjo, fiddle and foot-stomping folk for weddings in Somerset
For a wedding with a rustic, festival feel, a Mumford-style wedding band is hard to beat. Across Somerset, 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.
Whether your wedding is near Wells, Frome and Taunton or elsewhere in Somerset, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Homewood Park Hotel, Brympton House and The Roman Baths. If you'd like an acoustic set outdoors during the drinks, check the venue has a covered spot in case of rain.
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.
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.
