Thank you so much for making our wedding the party of the year - everyone loved the music! Black Velvet Band played at our wedding reception and they were brilliant. I had worried whether people would want to dance to Irish music but I shouldn't have. Everyone loved the music! We had a real proper Irish Hooley, with lots of dancing, singing-along and some humour in-between. As this was a marriage of cultures (English, Irish a…

Josie performed for us for a corporate St Patrick's Day celebration event. She was brilliant; thoroughly professional and detail focused in the run up, and went down a storm on the night. She was keen to get the music balance right and we had a mix of traditional Irish music with more contempoary rock and pop. Highly recommend!

Behan’s Footsteps came to play at my husband’s 60th birthday party, they were absolutely fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing good music at their event. They responded very quickly to my queries and requests and were an absolute pleasure to deal with, we would hire them again if we have another ‘do’

We had a Glastonbury-like home garden festival with family and friends. We booked Shenanigans for some live entertainment in the early evening - the description of simple Irish folk music with plenty of audience participation attracted us. They were great from point of contact to their performance. Very talented, good range of Irish folk songs and great audience engagement. Made a great weekend even more enjoyable!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is an Irish band for hire in Essex?

You'll spend about £400 to £600 to hire an Irish band in Essex from Poptop to play at your event. This service fee includes the travel charges and service time. When you enter your event information on Poptop's website to check the Irish bands available for booking, you can compare costs to see which best matches your budget. Additionally, you will receive an immediate price. Although our supplier's pricing is shown on their profile, you may also contact them for additional information.

Is the provided equipment PAT tested?

Yes. As part of Poptop's service criteria, all Irish bands in Essex are required to offer PAT-tested performance-related equipment. Therefore, you can rest assured the band will provide instruments that have passed PAT testing. The band will be responsible for providing all the necessary equipment for the event, including a PA system, microphone, and lighting. All equipment must be well-maintained before they can be used to perform. To view the instrument the band will provide at your event, visit the band's profile page on Poptop. Additionally, our suppliers will be in charge of preparing and disassembling their equipment before and following the event.

How long will an Irish band perform?

Most Irish bands in Essex perform two sets of 60 minutes each, separated by a break of 30 minutes. A typical Irish band performance lasts two to three hours. However, not all Irish bands adhere to this timeframe. Our suppliers provide flexible scheduling, so they are always willing to adjust their performance to meet your needs. Please feel free to verify which band best suits your preferences as each band's availability is listed on their profile on Poptop's website. Don't hesitate to talk about this with your favourite supplier.
