Frequently Asked Questions

I want to hire a ceilidh band in Manchester. How much will it cost?

The price a ceilidh band in Manchester will charge you for an event is between £300 to £1,920 depending on the number of members in the band you choose.

Kindly go through Poptop for a personalised list of professional ceilidh bands for hire in Manchester and get an instant quote after filling in your event details.

Should I provide any equipment if I hire a ceilidh band in Manchester?

You will need to provide a parking area so the bands can access the venue easily. A safe, flat, and dry performance area will be needed if the bands are to perform indoors. You will provide the bands with chairs and shelter if they agree to perform outside to protect them from the sun. Most of the ceilidh bands on Poptop provide their equipment, including a strong PA system, microphones, and amplifiers. Our suppliers will deliver the technical requirements and instruments they will use in the event.

How much time does a ceilidh band for hire needs to set up?

Setting up the equipment before and packing after the event is included in the services the ceilidh band offers. The ceilidh bands will be available an hour before the event so they can set up their equipment. It will take a band between 60-90 minutes to set up and ensure an adequate sound check. Depending on their equipment, some bands may take up to two hours to set up. Also, the band will stay after the event for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to pack their equipment.
