World Music Bands in Sheffield & South Yorkshire
Oompah, ceilidh, Latin and world music in Sheffield & South Yorkshire
A world music band gives an event a theme people remember. In Sheffield & South Yorkshire, 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.
Whether your event is near Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham or elsewhere in Sheffield & South Yorkshire, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Whitley Hall Hotel, Cutlers' Hall, Sheffield and Sheffield Town Hall — 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.
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.

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.
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.
