What is an Irish band?

Irish bands are professional groups that play Irish folk music, a lovely musical style that originated in Ireland. From classic Irish music to modern folk tunes, they offer a diverse selection of Irish songs. To create a lively and pleasurable ambiance, Irish bands in Bristol perform authentic, traditional Irish music at all events. A 4-piece band is the most typical Irish band lineup. The number may change, though. You can rely on them to use traditional Irish jigs to set the mood for you at your future event.

Can a band customise a setlist according to my requests?

Irish bands already have a setlist they perform at an event in the order they want to perform. However, they can accept one or two song requests from you. Discussing your song requests with the band before the event is crucial, so they would have enough time to arrange the songs before your event. On Poptop, it is customary for all Irish bands in Bristol to talk about the event playlist before the performance. A band may charge you extra money if your requested song is not on the playlist.
