We understand that sometimes timings have to be altered so let us know in advance and we will do our best to make any necessary changes.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We are open to discuss particular pieces you would like us to play and will try our best to adapt our performance to suit your individual needs. We play both upbeat and more relaxed/background music.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our PA system is included in your quote. The amount of space we need is dependent on the kind of setup you need: eg. a fully acoustic setup uses less space.

Folkus played our wedding, both whilst we signed our marriage certificate and for our drinks reception. Fantastic music, great communication beforehand, would highly recommend. I could listen to them play all day and night.

Folkus were excellent! They played beautifully together as instrumentalists and their vocal harmonies were really sweet. Folkus were able to adapt their set to the mood of the audience and the main thing is my 90 year old mother loved it, especially the rendition of Wild Mountain Thyme. Zofia and Tom were delightful and I was very satisfied with their professionalism, they were early to the venue and were very accommodating in terms of the running order. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else who is looking for a beautiful musical event!!!!

What a lovely refreshing folk duo! Great musicianship, really enjoyable to listen to. Violin and guitar- wonderful varied folk music- foot tapping!! Excellent communication throughout- very reliable and friendly. Exactly what we were looking for- guests loved it too- thank you so much !
