“We just wanted to say a huge thank you to both Tailored Entertainment and Folk Junkies. Both very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Really appreciate all the help & support in making our wedding day so special. Folk Junkies were simply outstanding! They were a pleasure to meet and deal with and we would highly recommend anyone hiring them for their wedding or function. Our dance floor was packed for the whole time they were performing and so many guests have commented as to how much they enjoyed Folk Junkies since the wedding. Also Tailored Entertainment were also brilliant. Very professional, easy to deal with and responsive. Planning a wedding can be difficult and stressful but Tailored were by far the best supplier we dealt with. Again we would highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future. Thank you Folk Junkies and Tailored Entertainment!”

“The feedback on Folk Junkies is extremely positive. They played two amazing sets and kept our dance floor full throughout. We absolutely loved their style and received so many compliments regarding our band choice. Their surprise performance of Yellow (song that wasn't on their repertoire list but that we had requested) was a particularly memorable moment (especially for James). The engagement during the planning phase was also excellent and it was great to be able to utilise their equipment between sets to play pre mixed play lists. We'd thoroughly recommend Folk Junkies and would like to thank the band for helping us have an amazing party.”

“Folk Junkies were absolutely fantastic and so talented. Everybody adored them, and I have never seen a dance floor so consistently packed at a wedding. Everybody aged 3 to 89 was dancing their socks off. The option to have one folk set and one rock/pop set really added to the experience, and there were brilliant tunes from start to finish, plus a great curated playlist for in between and after the sets. Thank you so much - we had the best time. Would absolutely recommend.”

“We are so grateful to Tailored Entertainment and Folk Junkies for providing us with such a magical day! From start to finish the team were brilliant and even when we had to change things due to Covid, everyone was so flexible and helpful. We loved the whole planning experience and the guidance and care given by the team. On the day the band were incredible. We had such a fantastic time with all our guests up and dancing throughout the evening (even those who would not usually venture to the dance floor!) Folk Junkies' set list was a great mix for both younger and older generations and their vocals and performances were such high quality - our first dance in particular was played so beautifully and learnt by the band specially for our day. The lighting set up was also great for our venue and added such lovely colour and atmosphere to our dance floor. From start to finish, working with Folk Junkies was such a pleasure, they were so helpful in setting up our playlists for in between the live sets and this worked so well on the day. The band also arrived promptly and set up quickly and discreetly. We were overrunning quite a lot with our meal and speeches and Folk Junkies were very flexible in accommodating this. Overall, a wonderful band and perfect for a wedding or any party occasion, we would certainly recommend them and ask them to play again at future events! Thanks so much for making our wedding such a success!”

Not only are they sublime musicians they are also warm and kind people. They got everyone on the dance floor and kept them there. I would hire them over and over and over and over and over again!!! If their videos get you going you need to book them because they're even more incredible in real life! Nearly 2 months on from the wedding and we are still getting compliments and people talking about the band. The band spoke to some of the guests whilst they were on their intermission, and every single person they spoke with had nothing but compliments for genuine they are. They are just a super, cool, funky, fresh group of people! I cannot thank you guys enough for how you made my wedding incredible!”

“5/5 - Firstly can we say how amazing Folk Junkies were! Thank you for being part of our special day. You guys were exactly what we had hoped for and you delivered an absolutely fantastic set throughout the whole evening. The acoustic duo set during the wedding breakfast was brilliant with several guests commenting how beautiful the lead singers voice was. Then the after dinner music....awesome! From the off Folk junkies set the right tone and delivered a set that got literally everyone on the dance floor. Not at any time was the floor empty and the tunes just kept coming. We have since had countless guests saying how great the band were.

Secondly to Amy Roberts from Tailored Entertainment thank you so much for all you did in the lead up to the day. At times we were bombarding you with several emails a day and you always responded promptly. Thanks for putting up with all the last minute stressed emails and ensuring that the sets all went off without any glitches!!!”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest classic and current chart hits, so there's certainly something for everyone.

Do you take requests?

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

Up to 90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we have three great options - a live lounge-style acoustic duo, a roaming 4-piece band (perfect for a vibrant drinks reception) and/or an instrumental violin set, which can work for drinks or during dinner.You can see more on these sets here and here.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Guildford in off-peak season (October - April). We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's price includes a rider buyout fee. This means that they can arrange their own food and drinks so you don't have to.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you to both Tailored Entertainment and Folk Junkies. Both very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Really appreciate all the help & support in making our wedding day so special. Folk Junkies were simply outstanding! They were a pleasure to meet and deal with and we would highly recommend anyone hiring them for their wedding or function. Our dance floor was packed for the whole time they were performing and so many guests have commented as to how much they enjoyed Folk Junkies since the wedding. Also Tailored Entertainment were also brilliant. Very professional, easy to deal with and responsive. Planning a wedding can be difficult and stressful but Tailored were by far the best supplier we dealt with. Again we would highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future. Thank you Folk Junkies and Tailored Entertainment!”

“The feedback on Folk Junkies is extremely positive. They played two amazing sets and kept our dance floor full throughout. We absolutely loved their style and received so many compliments regarding our band choice. Their surprise performance of Yellow (song that wasn't on their repertoire list but that we had requested) was a particularly memorable moment (especially for James). The engagement during the planning phase was also excellent and it was great to be able to utilise their equipment between sets to play pre mixed play lists. We'd thoroughly recommend Folk Junkies and would like to thank the band for helping us have an amazing party.”

“We are so grateful to Tailored Entertainment and Folk Junkies for providing us with such a magical day! From start to finish the team were brilliant and even when we had to change things due to Covid, everyone was so flexible and helpful. We loved the whole planning experience and the guidance and care given by the team. On the day the band were incredible. We had such a fantastic time with all our guests up and dancing throughout the evening (even those who would not usually venture to the dance floor!) Folk Junkies' set list was a great mix for both younger and older generations and their vocals and performances were such high quality - our first dance in particular was played so beautifully and learnt by the band specially for our day. The lighting set up was also great for our venue and added such lovely colour and atmosphere to our dance floor. From start to finish, working with Folk Junkies was such a pleasure, they were so helpful in setting up our playlists for in between the live sets and this worked so well on the day. The band also arrived promptly and set up quickly and discreetly. We were overrunning quite a lot with our meal and speeches and Folk Junkies were very flexible in accommodating this. Overall, a wonderful band and perfect for a wedding or any party occasion, we would certainly recommend them and ask them to play again at future events! Thanks so much for making our wedding such a success!”

We have since had countless guests saying how great the band were.

Secondly to Amy Roberts from Tailored Entertainment thank you so much for all you did in the lead up to the day.

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

Up to 90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we have three great options - a live lounge-style acoustic duo, a roaming 4-piece band (perfect for a vibrant drinks reception) and/or an instrumental violin set, which can work for drinks or during dinner.You can see more on these sets here and here.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Guildford in off-peak season (October - April). We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's price includes a rider buyout fee. This means that they can arrange their own food and drinks so you don't have to.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
