Booking Guide

Everything you need to know to hire Traditional Irish / Folk Bands for your event

Irish / Folk Bands in London cost from £215 to £1056. The average price in 2020 was £681. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into London from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.
