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.
