Electric and Folk Style Sets
One of the benefits of hiring The Electric Folks over many other bands is their ability to show off two different styles. It's like having two different bands perform for the price of one!

We know it is always great to add variety to your event, so as standard for a wedding or party The Electric Folks offer both styles.
Firstly electric, where they play pop and rock songs very similar to the record, and then their acoustic folk style, where they put down their electric instruments and swap them for double bass and acoustic guitars.
They channel their inner Mumford and add a folky twist to popular hits, which always goes down a storm!
Their set list has been expertly crafted over years of entertaining at weddings and corporate events. It always has a great reception with the band's audiences. All ages will be excited by the music they play, from the young to the not so young! There's something in there for everybody.
Wedding receptions
The Electric Folks offer 3 x 45-minute sets as standard. This is more than the majority of bands offer.
Let us know if you want even more live music than this though, and we can send you an additional quote. We usually suggest the time is split into 1 x 45 min folk set, and 2 x 45 min electric sets, but it can be the other way round if you prefer.
A standard quote from the band will include the following:
- 3 x 45-minute sets between 8pm and 12am
- Arrival at 5pm
- Pre-set playlist between sets via iPod or similar
- First dance learned
- Fully PAT tested equipment, PA system and lighting
- All travel costs
- All necessary insurances to perform at wedding venues across the UK
Earlier Entertainment
In addition to their standard evening performance, the band are able to offer earlier sets (often an acoustic set) for your ceremony, photo hour, wedding breakfast or drinks reception.
So do let us know if this is something you would be interested in, as generally having one band play throughout the day is much cheaper than hiring in separate ones.
Surrey Based
The Electric Folks are based in Kingston, Surrey so are ideally located for weddings in Oxfordshire, London and Hampshire.
They are willing to travel across the UK so if you would like to enquire please let us know the location.
So if you're looking to hire the finest Mumford & Sons style wedding band UK has to offer, get in touch with The Electric Folks.
