Main Content

Edinburgh ceilidh band ‘Norman Mackay’s Ceilidh Experience’ has, for the past decade, been leading the way in revolutionising the ceilidh dance music scene. With an innovative approach and infectious energy, they have become the go-to ceilidh band of choice for rock stars, soap stars, and famous politicians. They have performed at wedding ceilidhs, student ceilidhs, parties & festivals, and provided bespoke corporate entertainment at events all over Scotland, the UK, and throughout Europe.

Although we play for Scottish dancing, we are certainly not your average ‘traditional’ ceilidh band! With an accordion triggering midi samples through an i-pad, an electric fiddle plugged into a speaker stack, a rock god reality TV star guitarist and a Polish drum virtuoso with several years under his belt as a session drummer on the Manhattan Jazz scene. Add to the mix our in-house DJ, and you can rest assured that your party is in safe hands!

We are the longest-serving resident ceilidh band at The Ghillie Dhu in Edinburgh’s West End, where we have been performing at their famous Burly Ceilidh Club, private parties, Burns Nights, student ceilidhs, Christmas ceilidhs and corporate events since 2010! We also perform regularly at the Edinburgh music venue ‘Stramash’.

We strive to make each of our private events extraordinary, which is why (in addition to our residencies and other commitments) we limit ourselves to a maximum of 50 private events per year – most being weddings. This allows us to maintain a high level of enthusiasm and energy, ensuring that every event is unique and unforgettable. By prioritising quality over quantity, we guarantee that our customers receive an exceptional service and experience.

Get in touch with us for availability & ceilidh band hire cost for your event. If you have not yet seen us live, why not come along to a live gig? You can keep up to date with our upcoming events on our ‘Gig Diary’ or Facebook page.
