More information about The Irish Folk Duo
Their repertoire covers Irish folk (with ballads, drinking songs and high-speed jigs and reels), country songs and well-known rock, pop and soul cover material from the 1960s right up to the present day, with new material being added all the time.
They are suitable for any event from weddings and corporate functions to restaurants and bar gigs.
The Irish Folk Duo have a wealth of professional experience and are entirely self-contained.
Simply give them a space and power sockets and they will be there, ready to go.
Elaine has been featured on television and radio and played at Glastonbury and Guildford Festivals and venues including the Marquee Club and the Barbican, to name a few.
Martin is a very versatile, classically trained violinist with a wonderful ability to create melodic, beautiful and exciting improvised solos.
He has an affinity for Celtic and country violin playing but is just as much at home playing rock lead on electric violin with effects pedals.
So if you're looking to hire the finest Irish folk band London has to offer for your wedding or event, get in touch with us.

"I would like to say a big thank you for the really entertaining set you did at our folk club last month. I can't remember when I enjoyed so much a performance at our club. It was very special. You guys have got a lot of talent."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"The Irish Folk Duo played at Kew fete on 21st June in front of hundreds of people. Their music pulled in a great crowd as their unique style of folk rock with electric violin and guitar kept the audience rooted. As the organiser of the stage acts at Kew fete, I just hope The Irish Folk Duo can play next year and captivate the audience once again."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Much impressed. A highly entertaining mix of covers given an interesting twist, and what I especially like best, some brilliant, catchy and well-structured original songs. Elaine and Martin are both great performers and always leave you wishing the 'time' bell was that bit later and they were able to squeeze in another song or three."
