About The Roaming Folks – folk style pop covers band based in London
👏 What clients most loved about The Roaming Folks: roaming acoustic trio known for interactive performances, personalised moments, varied repertoire and smooth, professional wedding entertainment that keeps guests engaged
Welcome to the eclectic world of The Roaming Folks!
A carnival of spontaneous musical wonder, born from the chance combination of three somewhat brilliant, like-minded musicians, on one dark, cold winter's eve, early in the year of two thousand and nine...
We're listed on FixTheMusic's 19 Best Roaming Bands in the UK 🏆
The Roaming Folks are an eccentric, continental-esque ensemble, blending violin, guitar, accordion, and 3-part male harmonies.
We cover a hugely varied repertoire of music ranging from the 1800s to the present – from Muse to Dizzee Rascal, Frank Sinatra to Britney Spears.
We're listed on FixTheMusic's 31 Best Wedding Bands in the UK 🏆
We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Karczma Młyniska in Poland, Trinity Buoy Wharf in London and High Billinghurst Farm in Godalming, UK.
We play folky covers in our own quirky, inimitable style, complete with a good dash of comedy and theatre!
Whatever your taste; with our genre-spanning concoction of music we can't fail to entertain!
So please come in, have a jig, and join in the maniacal musical madness that is..The Roaming Folks!
Are you tired of hearing those same cliched covers of Mr. Brightside and Summer of 69..? Do you have a wedding, party, or event fast approaching and you're looking for something...a little different to entertain your guests? Say, a quirky trio of musicians...?!
View our complete list of UK roaming bands ➡️
We can perform either acoustic or amplified – all our creatively arranged covers in our upbeat, folky style, clear as day from our handy PA, suitable for a crowd of up to 150!
ALTERNATIVELY...unlike that gear-laden band tethered to the stage, one of our most popular and unique features is that as an acoustic act, we will ROAM your event..!
This allows us to play up close and personal, ensuring every guest hears us as we play our somewhat mad and quirky music, spreading theatrical atmosphere wherever we go!
We make a habit of interacting with our audience where we can, whether serenading the happy couple, getting people involved, or spontaneously 'attacking' someone (in the musical sense)! So be prepared!
Weddings
Everyone loves a wedding, and none more than us! Anyone can hire a function band – but a quirky, contemporary folk trio is thinking well outside the box!
We will complement the occasion not just musically, but aesthetically and charmingly!
With no drums to worry about, we take up minimal space, or we can roam the event and play to your guests personally, whilst providing a soundtrack that will ensure your guests never forget your special day!

Whether your event is set in stone, or just an idea floating around in your head, don't hesitate to get in contact if you think you might like to have us play for you!
We always make every effort to be flexible to your needs, and are happy to have a chat about any special requests (including a specially arranged song favourite)!
We can include a saxophonist, double bass or other instruments by request.
We have varying price packages to suit your budget, and we provide a quote based on your exact requirements.

"The Roaming Folks were absolutely fantastic! Their performances were great and made the day so much fun. They took on board all of our requests and were really flexible when we wanted to bring forward certain songs and helped create some amazing moments and memories. We had lots of compliments from our guests too. In the lead up Stephen was super responsive and always happy to help answer any of the many questions I had. I would recommend them without hesitation!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"So glad we booked The Roaming Folks. They were really communicative from the start which made the process easy and took the stress out of wedding planning. They entertained our guests thoroughly during our drinks reception and even surprised me and the groom with a lovely rendition of Amore at the entrance to the reception. Would highly recommend booking them for your future event!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"What else can we say about the Roaming Folks that hasn't already been said? What an incredible trio. We have so many great memories from the afternoon and evening...even an impromptu version of 'Singin' in the Rain' when the heavens briefly opened. 'Like a Virgin', 'King of the Swingers' and 'Freed From Desire' were particular highlights for us and our guests. Our venue wasn't particularly big, so they were the perfect band for both inside and out. Their choice of songs, flexibility and ability to judge the vibe and crowd were excellent and so many of our guests told us how much they loved them. When the time came for our amplified evening set, for example, rather than just start, as everyone was outside, they adapted and serenaded us first...brilliant! They really were everything we hoped for and so much more for our wedding. Really stand up guys as well. Without doubt, the best wedding band we've ever seen and so much more, as we were entertained from start to finish, and you could tell that's what they absolutely love to do. Thank you so much for making our wedding day even more special!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"The Roaming Folks were everything we wanted and more in a roaming band for our woodland wedding. The guys learnt our aisle song that we requested and they nailed it perfectly. It added such a romantic touch to the ceremony. They could judge the vibe at any time throughout the day and adjusted the music they were playing to suit. During such a busy day I’m so glad my partner and I managed to spare 10 minutes for them to serenade us with some Muse. What a great memory we now have! We have had so many of our wedding guests comment on how much they loved the band. Highly recommend these guys for any event. One can see that they thrive on entertaining people, and that’s exactly what you’ll get."
