World Music Bands in Cambridgeshire
Oompah, ceilidh, Latin and world music in Cambridgeshire
A world music band gives an event a theme people remember. In Cambridgeshire, these acts are booked for Oktoberfest nights, Burns Night suppers, St Patrick's Day parties, summer festivals and themed corporate events — anywhere the music is part of the occasion rather than just the soundtrack to it.
Across Cambridgeshire, world music bands are booked for events in and around Peterborough, Ely and Huntingdon. Venues in the area include Madingley Hall, Bassmead Manor Barns and The Guildhall — plenty of room for a dance, a ceilidh or a beer-hall singalong.
World music is a broad category. Some acts are Bavarian oompah bands in lederhosen, others are ceilidh bands with a caller who teaches every dance or pipers who lead a grand entrance, and others play Latin, klezmer or country. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the one that fits your theme.

Check the room and any sound limiter before you choose. Acoustic and roaming acts work almost anywhere, while amplified ceilidh and party bands need power and floor space. For outdoor events, ask about cover and power for the band.
Most world music bookings fall between about £600 and £2,500. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long they play — Oktoberfest season and December are the busiest. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
Every act's page has video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, their repertoire and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the fun factor before you commit.
