World Music Bands on the Isle of Wight

Book a world music band on the Isle of Wight

If you want an event with real character, a world music band is a great place to start. Acts across the Isle of Wight 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.

Whether your event is near Cowes, Newport and Ventnor or elsewhere on the Isle of Wight, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Appuldurcombe House, Northwood House and East Afton Farmhouse — if you're planning a themed night, it's worth checking where a band would set up and whether roaming around the room is possible.

Within world music you'll find oompah and Oktoberfest bands, ceilidh and folk bands, pipers and pipe bands, Latin and salsa groups, klezmer and Jewish celebration bands, and country and bluegrass acts. Many can also play a more general party set later in the evening, and their song lists show exactly what they cover.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The world music acts listed here all travel to the Isle of Wight, 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

Some world music acts play a set on stage, others move among guests during a drinks reception or a fun day, and many can do both. For a ceilidh you'll need a clear dance floor; for an oompah band or roaming Latin group, space to move through the crowd matters more than a stage.

A trio or four-piece typically starts from around £600, while a larger oompah or ceilidh band for a full evening can reach £2,500 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.

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.
