Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in North Yorkshire

Hire a folk-rock wedding band in North Yorkshire

If you want your wedding to feel like the best tent at a summer festival, a Mumford & Sons style wedding band is the one to book. In North Yorkshire, these bands play weddings first and foremost, and their mix of folk, bluegrass and rock covers suits guests of every age.

North Yorkshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Raven Hall and Middleton Lodge to Howard Court. Our folk-rock wedding bands travel right across the area, including Ripon, Whitby and Scarborough, so a festival-style wedding is never out of reach.

Not every folk-rock band does the same job. Some are best known for their acoustic sets during a drinks reception, some for a full-volume evening party, and many do both in a single booking, moving from the lawn to the dance floor.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every folk-rock wedding band here travels to North Yorkshire as standard, brings the equipment it needs, and the quote you receive includes travel. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: from around £1,000 for a smaller band to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up, depending on date and set times
  • Mumford-style folk, bluegrass, hoedown and folk-rock covers
  • Acoustic reception sets and full evening party sets
  • Travel is included in every quote
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the kind of wedding day you want. For a barn or marquee wedding, a four or five-piece with banjo, fiddle and a stomp box gives the full festival feel. For a smaller party, an acoustic trio can bring the same sound at a lower volume.

A trio or four-piece typically starts from around £1,000, while a larger band for an afternoon and evening can reach £3,000 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

Each folk-rock band'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 a band works a room than any description can.

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.

FAQs

It's a folk-rock band built around acoustic instruments like banjo, mandolin, fiddle and acoustic guitar, with a driving beat from a kick drum or stomp box. They play folk anthems and folk-style versions of pop and rock hits.

Most can. Many bands offer an unplugged set for the drinks reception, often moving among guests, before their full evening set. Mention it when you enquire and we'll include it in the quote.

Yes. Bands bring their own PA and lighting for the evening set, and acoustic sets need little or nothing. The full band needs floor space and power nearby, so check both with your venue, along with any sound limiter.

From around £1,000 for a smaller band to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up. The number of musicians, the date and the length of the booking make the biggest difference, and travel is always included in the quote.

It's one of the most popular choices. The acoustic instruments and foot-stomping energy suit barns, marquees and outdoor venues, and the sound works well in rooms where a louder band might struggle.

Yes. Most folk-rock bands play folk-style versions of pop, rock and chart hits alongside folk anthems, so there's something for every guest. Each act's song list shows exactly what they cover.

“What can we say other than a HUGE thank you for Saturday evening. The Queen classic is a big favourite of Dave’s, so it was great to have that as our first dance. We had the best time ever! We have a video of our last dance and I can’t believe how many people are on the dance floor. So many people commented on how fantastic you were. Thank you also for your patience with drunken guests…I imagine people backing into you gets pretty tiring quite quickly! …Hopefully see you at another event soon. If not then I already have you in mind for Dave’s 40th in a few years time”

“Tommy and Sons were fantastic and worth every penny! They got everyone up and dancing along and kept the energy going all evening, all the guests had such great things to say about them and continue to mention how good they were, would highly recommend! One of our guests has since booked them for their own wedding!”

“"It took us a long time to find the right band for our wedding, we wanted someone who could hold an audience for an entire night, get everyone on he dance floor, had a great sound and were an all round dope set of people. Then we found Buskers & Sons and we knew they were the one for us. Buskers & Sons blew us away. They were sensational. Our friends and family danced the night away for 2 hours and had only the highest of compliments for the guys. Honestly, from the bottom of mine and my Wife’s heart, thank you SO much for absolutely killing it. You were sensational and everything we wished for."”

“Not sure where to start – you guys were amazing!! Just incredibly happy with everything from start to finish. We felt truly blessed to have you there for our special day and you guys were simply perfect. The first dance was exactly what we wanted if not better than the version we sent you….the fiddler during the reception was exactly the atmosphere we wanted. And the music all night – well you saw the dance floor, ALL night!!! It felt like having friends there playing for us so a HUGE thank you. Please send on our thanks to everyone. Cannot wait to see you again soon….”

“Tommy & Sons were so easy to work with, I booked them last minute to play and they turned up into the unknown and played all night long! Really getting the crowd going and even letting my mum sing on the mic (best/worse thing I’ve ever been witness to). The guys really were great and so polite the whole time. If anyone if looking for a party pleasing and universal band that can do anything then please please please book these guys, 1000% will be re-booking for future events.”

“"We cannot praise you three enough... you are AWESOME and we absolutely loved having you at our wedding!!! You had everyone dancing within minutes and everyone was loving the music. Your 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' mash up was insane... I could listen to that all day long. Thank you so, so much for travelling all that way, entertaining everyone and for joining in after your set. SO MUCH FUN! Cannot wait to see you guys play again!"”
