The act
The Green Fields is a Brisbane-based Celtic band.
Fiddle and mandolin give The Green Fields an Irish accent you could build a wedding singalong around. The Brisbane trio also includes acoustic guitars and bass, drawing on traditional Irish and folk music while encouraging listeners to join in. Their covers reach from the sixties into the twenties, so you can discuss a programme that places the Celtic songs beside music from other decades. For a smaller part of your day, they can also perform as a singing duo with guitar and bass, or pair violin with guitar for a more instrumental approach that can include vocals.

Good to know
What to expect
You'll get a fiddle, a mandolin, acoustic guitars and a bass, and three Brisbane musicians who came up playing this stuff properly rather than picking it up for a theme night. The Irish songs everybody half knows are the backbone: Galway Girl, I'll Tell Me Ma, the ones with choruses built for a room full of people who've had a drink. But it doesn't stay there. They'll swing into folk and pop from the 60s, 70s and 80s when the night calls for it. And they'll talk it through with you first, so the set matches the music you actually want.
On the day
The PA and all the instruments travel with the band, so the gear side is handled. Two things come from your end. One is 240 volt power near where they'll be playing. The other only applies outdoors: they need to be under cover. Fiddles, mandolins and rain are a bad mix, and so are amplifiers, so a marquee or a verandah sorts it out.
Performance options
The full trio can lean Celtic all night, or move between Irish tunes and singalong covers from the 60s through to the 2020s, depending on what your crowd responds to. There are two smaller shapes as well. One is a duo on guitar and bass, singing covers. The other pairs violin with guitar for something more instrumental, though there's singing in that one too. Tell them the room and the occasion and they'll suggest which fits.
