Oompah band | German bands for hire | London Dublin Switzerland

Bavarian oompah band from Germany

Welcome to Elmar’s oompah band – a popular Bavarian oompah band in Germany. Yep, we are a German band – which means we bring you the real and authentic sound of traditional oompah music.

If you have ever been to the Oktoberfest in Munich, you know the unbridled joy and infectious passion that a Bavarian oompah band can ignite. And now you can have this music too.

German oompah bands for hire

Authentic oompah bands from Germany always play with accordion. This is an important difference to marching bands in lederhosen. In addition to typical oompah music from Germany and Austria, German oompah bands also play international hits to sing and dance along to. Hire your oompah band for your event now.

From London UK to Dublin Ireland

From Germany, it’s not far by plane to the United Kingdom. There are several flights a day from all major German airports to London. And from London you can get to any city in Britain. There are also many flights from Germany to Dublin, from where we can easily reach any city in Ireland.

Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels

We are booked all over Europe with our German music. Many international companies organise an internal Oktoberfest and invite us musicians from Germany to join them. And in Zurich, St. Moritz, Verbier or Gstaad we even play Swiss music.

India, China and Singapore

German oom-pah music is not only popular in Europe. We also get requests from Mumbai, Delhi and other cities in India like Bengaluru.
Traditional German music is also very popular in Shanghai and Beijing and throughout China. Because many foreigners come here to work, there is now even an Oktoberfest in Singapore!

Berlin, Hanover and Frankfurt

Don’t get me wrong: of course we also play very often at home – not only in Munich and Bavaria, but also often in our capital Berlin.
Actually, we play in every big German city, especially when there is an international trade fair there. Do you need a German folk band in Frankfurt or Hanover?

What you should know about us

My name is Elmar, which is why my band is called “Elmar’s oompah band” outside of Germany. I realised that our German name (“Bergvagabunden”) is too difficult for non-German speakers to pronounce.
We have different line-ups, from one to five musicians, and with or without a female singer. We see ourselves as a 360° band: we can play both as a mobile group without sound equipment and with sound equipment on stage.

The sound you love and the melodies you know

Our programme consists of several genres: German folk music, polkas and waltzes from Bavaria and Tyrol, German Schlager, international party songs in many languages. This is 100% the famous mix from the Oktoberfest in Munich: we combine the sound you love with the melodies you know.
