The Folly Brothers

They played our ruby wedding do in a pub and were incredible. What brilliant musicians and really great guys. Their songs and personalities really shone and every single one of our guests said, "what an amazing band. Where on earth did you find them?" I think I danced almost all of their 2 sets which I never thought I could do so it just tells you how inclusive and how catchy the tunes were. Many of our guests said the absolute highlight of the evening was when they left the stage and played acoustic numbers within the crowd. I must say it was so wonderful to be up close and personal with such great players and singers and the cosy and fun atmosphere created had everyone singing along. I'm trying to think of an excuse to hire this band again so if you do have an event coming up, do yourselves a favour and get this band. PS a special thanks to Wes for his great help and great chats.

I stumbled upon The Folly Brothers in January this year, when trying to hunt down a final decent act to complete my line up for the Crick Boat Show Music Festival 2024, which takes place in May - I really felt like I was running out of time and would have to settle for one of the many average acts that you get approached by when booking music for a music festival. After watching a couple of You Tube clips, I knew immediately that here was an act that not only passed my fairly strict musical / musician quality threshold, but who were also going to be a helluva lot of fun! 😀 I had never really come across a Bluegrass style act who appeared to be both as positively upbeat and a full on proper laugh. Nevertheless, as their show day afternoon arrived I had a familiar wobble when booking an act for the first time: What if they're not as good as I thought, maybe I got it wrong and they're just average....😟😟😥😰 Fortunately my instincts were good and they delivered two amazing sets - one afternoon and one evening - both pitched perfectly to suit the slot - the former slightly more down-tempo and the latter raising the roof, getting the crowd properly geared up for the headline act and making me laugh throughout. In addition they were both really nice to deal with and super professional in their approach - we had them set up and line checked in no time at all for the first set. I will absolutely be booking them again, and will probably even break my almost golden rule of not having any act on 2 consecutive years… Highly recommend anyone interested in Bluegrass style / Americana type bizniz to check them or get them booked.
