More information about Festival Beats

One of the great things about Festival Beats is that they offer two very different styles of music, which can add a little bit of variety and excitement to your event!

View our list of the UK's best Mumford-style wedding bands ➡️

Their folky or "Mumford & Sons" style, sees them switch up the standard electric instruments for their acoustic counterparts.

In their folk sets they play songs by some of the world's most popular modern folk bands, such as Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers, but also introduce some unexpected songs with a whole new style.

Here are just some of the locations where we have been booked by clients on FixTheMusic for weddings and events,...

St Tewdrics House, Chepstow
Ham Polo Club, Richmond, UK
Old Gore by Yard Space
Southend, Henley-on-Thames
Elton Road, Clevedon, UK
Poling, Arundel, UK
The Royal Standard, Vanbrugh Park
Warwick, UK

They offer a unique twist on pop tunes with their own folk style using a line-up of double bass, keys, acoustic guitars, drums and female vocals.

Their set list is tried and tested and is sure to get your guests up and dancing. Festival Beats are ideal if you are having a festival wedding, or if you’re just looking for a band that can bring the fun!

Festival Beats offer more live music as standard than most bands out there, with 3 x 45-minute sets. These can be split into styles as you wish, so 1 set of folk and 2 sets electric or vice versa.

However, if you want even more music than that just let us know as the band can usually accommodate at an additional fee. Here is what the band will offer in a standard quote:

3 x 45-minute sets of live music between 8pm and midnight.
Arrival at 5pm to set up and sound check by 7pm.
Pre-set playlist between sets so you don't need to hire a DJ. The band can also take some requests in advance for this.
First dance learnt.
Fully PAT certified equipment, PA and lighting.
All travel costs.
All necessary insurances to play at all UK wedding venues.

If you are also looking for extra entertainment for your ceremony, drinks reception, photo hour or wedding breakfast then just let us know and we can do you a bit of a deal.

The band also has a good selection of garage, 90s and RnB songs in their repertoire.

The band's folk style set would be perfect for afternoon entertainment, but they can also provide an additional jazz set which works excellently as background music.

The Musicians

The band originally met while studying at the Academy Of Contemporary Music in Guildford.

Since then they have worked separately on various projects, including theatre productions such as Singing in The Rain, playing festivals such as Camp Bestival, performing on live radio, and touring Europe with original bands.

Between them, they have a wealth of experience which is clear to see when you watch them perform.

The band has recently been booked on FixTheMusic for weddings at Old Luxters Barn in Oxfordshire and the Ham Polo Club in Richmond, London.

So if you're looking to hire the finest festival/folk style wedding band the UK has to offer, get in touch with Festival Beats.

"Please can you pass on our heartfelt thanks to each member of Festival Beats...they were absolutely amazing on our wedding day last week and made the whole day! They were so professional and efficient with their set up, they looked the part, played fantastically and got everyone dancing! When there was an issue with the venue's speaker they re did our first dance later on so that we could hear it properly, this was greatly appreciated and gave a whole different feel to the dance. I will highly recommend them to everyone after a band, I'm just trying to think of the next event I can hold to justify booking them!"
