FAQ about booking Celtic Music
What is Celtic music?
Celtic music is a genre of folk music that originated in the Celtic countries of Europe, including Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, and the Isle of Man. It is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the fiddle, bagpipes, and harp, and its lyrics often tell stories of love, loss, and cultural traditions.
How much does it cost to book Celtic music for an event?
On average, Celtic music will cost $300-$600 for 2 hours. The exact price will vary depending on the musician’s experience, the duration of the performance, and the location of the event. It is best to request quotes from multiple bands and musicians in order to get a sense of the market rate and to find a performer that fits your budget.
How far in advance should I book Celtic musicians for my event?
It is generally recommended to book a Celtic group at least a few months in advance, especially if you are planning an event during a busy time of year, like St. Patrick’s Day, or have specific dates in mind. This will give you the best chance of securing the band you want and also allow you time to make any necessary arrangements.
Can I request specific songs or styles of music from my Celtic musicians?
Most Celtic groups will be happy to accommodate song requests within reason, as long as they have sufficient notice and the requested songs are within their repertoire. It is a good idea to discuss your preferences with the band before booking them to ensure that they can meet your needs.
Is it possible to have a solo musician or small group instead of a full band?
Many Celtic groups offer smaller configurations such as solo musicians or duos in addition to full bands. These options may be more suitable for intimate events or events with space or budget constraints.
Is it necessary to provide food and drinks for the musicians?
It is not necessary to provide food and drinks for your performers, but it is a common and appreciated gesture, especially for long performances. You may want to discuss the band’s preferences and any special dietary needs with them before the event.
What do I need to provide for the performance?
Most Celtic groups will provide their own instruments and any specialized equipment needed to perform. They can usually provide their own microphones and sound systems as well, but if the venue also has these things on hand they may choose to use those instead.
You will need to have a designated area for setup and sound check, as well as access to electricity. You should discuss all special needs and requirements with your band and the venue before the event to ensure everything is in place for the performance.
Is it possible to have the Celtic musicians perform outside or at an unconventional venue?
Many Celtic bands can perform outside or at unconventional venues, but there may be additional considerations such as the need for a covered stage or protection from the elements. It is important to discuss these issues with the band in advance to ensure that the performance can go ahead as planned.
What events would be good for booking Celtic music?
Celtic music is known for its upbeat, energetic sound and is often associated with dance and celebration. It is enjoyed by people of all ages which makes it a popular choice for all types of events, from weddings to festivals to cultural gatherings. And of course, Celtic musicians and Irish bands are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day parties!
