Tom hired Morrigan’s Bow 🏹 for a Private event (available in Wokingham)
"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)"
Fiona hired Morrigan’s Bow 🏹 for a Wedding (available in Wokingham)
"Railroad Four were absolutely superb and we couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding. From the moment we booked them, they were brilliant to deal with and really accommodated what we wanted from the evening. They even learned our first dance song especially for us and played it exceptionally well – it was a truly special moment that we'll never forget. Once the dancing started, they kept the dance floor packed all night. The atmosphere was incredible, and guests of all ages were up dancing from start to finish. We've had so many compliments from family and friends about how good the band were. Not only are they fantastic musicians, but they're also a great group of guys who genuinely care about making your event the best it can be. If you're looking for a wedding band that will get everyone on their feet and make your night unforgettable, we couldn't recommend Railroad Four highly enough. Thank you for helping make our wedding so special! ⭐🎶💃🕺"

FAQs about hiring Folk bands in Wokingham
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.
