Folk Quartet Italy

Book our Italian band for great folk music. This acoustic band play cover music in Italy and are available for bookings worldwide. As a traditional band, their instrumentation includes a mixture of modern and older styles of playing and making music. 

With a focus on covering the most entertaining and best-loved music of the 20th century and beyond, they provide sets with energy and foot-thumping dynamism. The group features a range of traditional instruments, such as mandolin, banjo and accordion, as well as the necessaries for a cover band: guitar, bass and drums. 

Mimicking the inventiveness of some of the bands they cover, the instrumentation is creative. Drums aren’t just the standard drum kit but include only the sounds necessary to produce the culturally-specific sounds of Italian and British folk music. 

Most of their set aren’t straightforward note-for-note replicas but are rearrangements focusing on expanding the folk music element of the tune. While many of their covers, such as those by Mumford and Sons, need little work to become more folky, some of their Beatles and Michael Jackson covers that contain and polka-time and an accordion feel like they could have been written in the Italian alps.

Their marriage of timeless styles of music with modern smash hits means that even your pop-averse grandad will be singing along to REM. They band are dynamic, fun and friendly, inviting your audience into an intimate and energetic gig that will stick out in their minds for a long time thereafter.
