Profile
A truly electric four piece ceilidh band with fiddle/caller, bass, electric guitar and drums, adding an exciting, modern twist to traditional Ceilidh music
The musicians (Mary, Matt, Nicky and Steve) have more years combined experience than they care to admit, both at home and internationally, and hail from Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Central Belt - they play most places in Scotland, from the Borders to Perthshire.
Their repertoire is as long as 'Nessie’s tale' and don’t worry if you don’t know the dances as they will guide you with full instructions for each one. Their dances are quite easy and you’ll have so much fun, even wee old Auntie Maureen, or grumpy Sam from finance, might be persuaded to get up and have a go (in fact they might even dance together!).
They specialise in weddings, and they also play ceilidhs for St Andrews Night, St Patricks Day, Burns Suppers, Christmas nights out, school dances, birthday parties, fund-raisers and corporate events.
They bring the house down in all venues - from castles to canvases, from hotels to huts – in fact any event or place that wants to enjoy an evening of merriment with exciting music. A DJ is always included to play your favourite song for the first dance and later in the evening if required.
They like to put the ‘ding’ in ‘wedding’, and the ‘corr!’ in corporate’, so contact them now to make sure your evening will genuinely rock!*
*NB: Their music is much better than their puns!
* Irish born fiddle player with vast experience of Irish Ceilis, and Scottish Ceilidhs
* Well established act - recently on TV as part of STV Childrens Appeal October 2015
* Full instructions given for all dances by their highly experienced caller
* Award winning musicians
* In addition to the ceilidh band, they bring a disco as standard for the first song and later in the evening if required
