Frequently asked questions

Do folk groups charge customers for the London Congestion Charge

If the event venue is located within the London Congestion Charge zone, it's important to clarify with your chosen act how they handle this fee. Some folk groups may include it in their price, while others may add it to their travel expenses. The charge is currently £15. Similarly, any car parking fees should also be discussed beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.

How long do folk groups in London usually perform for?

Each event is different but the typical performance time for folk groups in London is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

Do folk groups in London perform outdoors?

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.

How far in advance do we need to book your services?

Booking folk groups in London as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Will the act provide all the necessary equipment, such as sound systems and lighting?

Most folk groups are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some folk groups in London have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.

How much do folk groups cost in London?

The cost of hiring musicians in London can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £872. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £150, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £3304.
