World Music Bands in Newcastle upon Tyne
Oompah, ceilidh, Latin and world music in Newcastle upon Tyne
If you want an event with real character, a world music band is a great place to start. Acts across Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Newcastle upon Tyne include Matfen Hall, The Vermont Hotel and Jesmond Dene House, and our world music acts play events across Tynemouth, Jesmond and Gateshead. Tell us your venue and the theme when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.
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.

The world music acts listed here all travel to Newcastle upon Tyne, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound set-up where it's needed.

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.
Expect to pay from around £600 for a smaller act up to £2,500 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as a caller for a ceilidh or a longer festival set. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.
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.
The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
