Welcome to Emerald Entertainment

As well as being home to NE Ceremony Music and County Durham's hard-hitting Irish band The Emerald Thieves, this website serves as a network contact hub for a huge variety of live music related services based throughout the North East region.

We are not an agency, but we can easily put you in touch with one. We are a North East music company which is run by musicians who are passionate about music. 

We can hire (or connect you with) string quartets, piano and violin duos, Scottish pipers, Irish dancers, DJs, events managers, PA system hire, audio mixing and mastering services, professional wedding musicians, party bands in Newcastle, County Durham, Sunderland, Darlington, Teesside, Northumberland and further afield too. Our band travels the entire UK.

Please get in touch we are only here to help you get the right music for your event. 

The company was established back in 2005 by dedicated musicians from Belfast, Durham and Newcastle. As we now approach our 15th year our talented musicians have been lucky enough to travel worldwide, performing in Europe and the middle East at a variety of amazing events. Back in 2012 Anna from Emerald Thieves Band even had the honour of playing fiddle for Her Majesty the Queen when the Royal Party visted Durham Castle, we're very proud of that. Our reputation in this area is second to none.
