About
Celtic Folk is a Celtic band for hire in Canberra, ACT.
Celtic-inspired music with a contemporary lean is the trade here. Celtic Folk are a Canberra band who work two modes equally well: a proper dance set when the party wants to jump, or tasteful background music when the moment calls for something gentler. They can play fully acoustic or through their own small sound system, and for a big room they'll ask the venue to supply something larger. Outdoors, a bit of cover overhead is appreciated. Public liability insurance is held.
Watch
The show
The band can go either way on the night. Push the tempo and there's real dancing in it, with the kind of set that gets people up and moving in circles. Pull it back and the same players will sit under conversation, elegant and unobtrusive, while your guests eat and talk. Tell them which mode you want, or where in the evening you want it to change, and they'll build the night that way.
On the day
Small room, no amplification needed. Celtic Folk will play fully acoustic, or plug into their own small sound system if you'd rather have a bit more volume, in which case power is about all they'll ask you for. Bigger venues are a different job. For a room that needs a more dominant sound, you'll want a larger PA supplied at your end. Playing outside? Some cover overhead is appreciated, for the instruments as much as the players.
