FAQs about hiring Folk Bands in Chichester

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any folk band play my favourite song?

Professional folk bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that folk bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the folk band's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do folk bands take to set up?

Your folk band will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the folk band prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our folk bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our folk bands will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.

Recent reviews of our Folk Bands in Chichester

“Folkus were one of the highlights of our wedding. Their set fit perfectly with the beginning of our reception as music whilst people had drinks and canapes. It was wonderful and a few guests started dancing unexpectedly. Only regret not having them on for longer. Thanks Zofia and Tom”

Dane hired Folkus for a Wedding (available in Chichester)

“Folkus were an absolute pleasure to have at our wedding. They arrived on time and without issues, remained communicative throughout the day and offered up advice on where and when to play during the day to keep things running smoothly. I had plenty of guests approach me saying how lovely the pair were, and even got a few people moving before the dancefloor opened! The music was gorgeous, and played impeccably - I can't recommend them enough! Thank you very much for making our day special :) ”
