"Booked the Band for the Scottish Traditional Boat Festival, The guys were professional from start to finish, and fully delivered a wide and varied set of toe tapping choons. Despite the poor weather they kept the smiles on their faces and so far had nothing but positive feedback from attendees, Highly recommended if your looking for a band. "

Morrigan’s Bow 🏹
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Absolutely brilliant. Would 100 percent recommend. These guys were superb. They communicated beforehand so they understood exactly what we wanted at our wedding They were flexible on the day (I think some of our guests put in a request or two!). We had a ball. Morrigans Bow are 2 incredibly talented musicians. We loved them and our guests raved about them. Our only regret is that we didn't book them for a longer set! (Morrigans bow performed at our wedding and played a mix of classic Irish folk tunes, reels and jigs and modern covers - Mumford and sons, James etc. Didsbury house hotel evening wedding entertainment, June 2026)"

FAQs about hiring Folk bands in Stirling

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.
