World Music Bands in Northumberland
Themed and world music bands for events in Northumberland
When an event has a theme, the band should match it. Across Northumberland, world music acts are booked for beer festivals, cultural celebrations, company fun days and weddings with a twist, bringing everything from Bavarian oompah, ceilidh and bagpipes to Latin rhythms and klezmer.
Across Northumberland, world music bands are booked for events in and around Morpeth, Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed. Venues in the area include Langley Castle, Healey Barn and Newton Hall — 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.

A three or four-piece suits most parties and roaming sets. For a large beer festival, a full ceilidh evening or a big corporate event, a five-piece or larger band fills the space properly. Tell us the venue, the theme and the guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.
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.
Each world music act'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 an act gets a crowd joining in than any description can.
