About Rigs & Jeels

Best Irish / Party band in the North West!
Folk band
Manchester
Public liability insurance of £2 million

We are a three piece Traditional Irish band consisting of fiddle ,banjo and guitar. The fiddle /banjo combination is one of the classics within the Irish genre . This makes us ideally suited for events which require an Irish repertoire. The inclusion of either electric or acoustic guitar gives us additional flexibility. This allows us to also play a wide range of modern and party classics, but still with that underlying Irish feel. Our set list is picked to appeal to people of all ages and musical tastes. Based in North West of England, we play regularly in the Irish bars and Irish centers around the Manchester and Yorkshire areas. In addition to pubs, we cater for weddings, parties and celebrations where our modern and traditional Irish favourites are always well received. We are flexible and adaptable and are always keen to work closely with our clients in terms of set lists and timings to ensure that any occasion goes without a hitch. We have public liability insurance and all our equipment is PAT tested. We hope you feel we are are good fit for your requirements and we look forward to working with you .
