Irish Bands in Birmingham
Irish folk, ceilidh and trad bands for events in Birmingham
Few acts get a room joining in like an Irish band. Across Birmingham, these bands play traditional jigs and reels, Irish ballads, céilí dances and rousing folk-rock covers, and they're a favourite for weddings, family parties and St Patrick's celebrations.
Whether your event is near Edgbaston, Sutton Coldfield and the city centre or elsewhere in Birmingham, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Fazeley Studios, New Hall Hotel & Spa and Birmingham Botanical Gardens. If you're planning a céilí, it's worth checking the size of the dance floor with the venue early on.
Irish music covers a lot of ground. Some acts are traditional trad groups playing jigs, reels and slow airs, some are céilí bands with a caller who teaches every dance, and others mix Irish folk with pop and rock covers for a party set. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the right fit.

A solo singer or duo suits a pub-style night or a small gathering. For a wedding or a big party, a four or five-piece band with fiddle and banjo fills the room properly. Tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.
Most Irish 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, and St Patrick's weekend books up early. 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 atmosphere before you commit.
