World Music Bands in Cheshire
Hire a world music act in Cheshire
If you want an event with real character, a world music band is a great place to start. Acts across Cheshire play Oktoberfest oompah, Scottish and Irish ceilidh, bagpipes, Latin and Cuban sets, Jewish celebration music and country, and they're booked for parties, festivals and corporate events alike.
Popular event venues in Cheshire include Styal Lodge, Delamere Events and Arley Hall & Gardens, and our world music acts play events across Chester, Knutsford and Macclesfield. Tell us your venue and the theme when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.
Not every world music act does the same job. A ceilidh band runs the whole evening as a participation dance, an oompah band leads singalongs and drinking songs, and a Latin or klezmer group brings a lively set to dance to. Knowing the kind of night you want makes the choice much easier.
Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The world music acts listed here all travel to Cheshire, 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 £600 for a smaller act to £2,500 or more for a larger band, depending on line-up, date and set times
- Oompah, ceilidh, pipers, Latin, klezmer, country and other themed acts
- Sets for a themed party, a full ceilidh evening or a festival slot
- Travel is included in every quote
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
Start with the theme. An Oktoberfest or beer festival suits an oompah band; a Burns Night or St Patrick's party suits a ceilidh band with a caller, or a piper to pipe in the haggis; a summer party or salsa night suits a Latin group. Many acts come in several sizes, from a small roaming line-up to a full stage 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.
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.
