Live Irish music for the wake?

Irish music band for a wake in London, Birmingham and all over England

A solo Irish singer-guitarist, duo, or band is a meaningful choice for many families arranging a wake. It’s also common to include music or a singer during the service itself, offering a moment of reflection and connection.

We have experienced performers based across the country, ready to support this heartfelt way of saying goodbye.

This part of our service has grown steadily over the past 10 years, reflecting how valued it has become among our clients.

Bagpiper or uilleann piper?

The uilleann pipes are widely recognised as a distinctly Irish instrument, with their unique Celtic sound often chosen to reflect the tone of an Irish occasion.

Both types of pipes can be performed in a traditional Irish kilt, adding a cultural touch to the event.

Unlike the uilleann pipes, which are typically played seated, the bagpipes allow the piper to walk while playing—an option some families prefer during processions or outdoor gatherings.

What are the most requested songs for Irish funerals?

Some of the most requested songs and hymns for church, crematorium and graveside services include:

Amazing Grace • Amhrán na bhFiann (The Soldier’s Song) • Boolavogue • Danny Boy • Four Green Fields • Grace • How Great Thou Art • I Watch the Sunrise • Jealous of the Angels • Kevin Barry • Our Lady of Knock • The Fields of Athenry • The Old Rugged Cross • The Parting Glass

A wide range of other traditional Irish songs, hymns and appropriate music can also be provided to suit the wishes of the family and the nature of the service.
