Great from initial enquiry to performing their set. Really good communication and very friendly guys, my Dad loved it for his birthday, as did the 30 other guests. Highly recommend.

We had the band at our son's wedding and they were great. They got everybody going and David's instructions were very good and very funny, too. Hardly anyone knew how to dance these dances, so chaos ensued in the most entertaining way. By the last song we finally got it and they kept playing for 15 minutes (!) because everyone was most enthusiastically participating. These guys are wonderful musicians and entertainers. Thank you so very much!

We had so much fun! It was hilarious trying to learn the dances and the band were extremely patient with us. It was such a great way to bring all our guests together, meeting each other and speaking / dancing with people they may not of otherwise. I thoroughly recommend it.

I booked Phil and the Brewery Band to play at my 50th birthday party in Gloucester 1st Feb 2020. There were so many different bands to choose from, but I know now I definitely picked the right band to entertain me and my guests. Communication between myself and Phil before my party was good and when I met Phil and the band on the night all members were friendly and had smiles. Dances where easy to follow with clear instruction from Phil, and the music was lively.
Everyone enjoyed the night and the Brewery band made it extra special. A birthday that I will never forget.
Thank you :-)

"The band were excellent and our guests had a great time.
The band were warm and friendly and explained the steps really well, which was a massive help seeing as though most of the guests had never been to a ceilidh before.
I would happily recommend them."
We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies
We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a ceilidh band to hire for a party in Edinburgh?
The location of your event, the size of the band, and travel costs all affect the price of hiring a ceilidh band in Edinburgh. Therefore, there is no set rate. An Edinburgh ceilidh band for hire would typically cost you between £750 and £1300 for an occasion. On Poptop, a ceilidh band may be booked for a lesser fee, anything from £727 to $1265. You will receive an instant quotation when you enter the details of your event on Poptop.
Is there a vocalist in the band?
Many ceilidh bands in Edinburgh feature a vocalist, guitarist, caller, and accordionist. While these bands perform Irish and Scottish songs, tunes, and dancing, their lineup also features male and female lead vocals to sing the songs. A ceilidh band consists of fiddle/vocals, guitar/vocals/dance caller specializing in lively and energetic Scottish ceilidh, American songs, traditional Irish music, and modern English songs. So, you should expect a vocalist to perform at your event. You can also contact the supplier for more information.
