We are the Iron Broo Ceilidh Band. A well known Aberdeen based Ceilidh band (As seen at T in the Park) with a reputation as one of the liveliest and fun Ceilidh Bands on the traditional Scottish music scene. We've played throughout Scotland and abroad for 2 decades. Our very special lively blend of traditional Scottish Ceilidh music never disappoints and we are available for hire throughout Aberdeenshire, Scotland and around the World. We are the ideal ceilidh band to play your ceilidh functions such as weddings or corporate events. All of Iron Broo's ceilidh dances are called so there is no excuse for not dancing! We can be very persuasive.

"Hi,
We were delighted with the band and many of our guests were also very impressed. I'm not sure how your ranking system works but I would give them an A+!
They were pleasant, approachable , flexible and entertaining. We had a great evening.
Thanks

We booked the three-piece band for our wedding and from start to finish they were professional, replied quickly, had easy to understand terms and prices and were nice and service minded. The music was great, and they explained very well each dance, which we greatly appreciated considering many of the guests were not Scottish and didn't have a clue about ceilidh. We all had such a lovely time and we danced like nobody was watching. Big thanks to Iron Broo Ceilidh Band for making our day so special!

"Me and my wife, Merlin got married at Banchory Lodge 26.8.18. Iron Broo were very professional, they were warm and engaging. The music was excellent, they got the party started, provided authentic and atmospheric Scottish Ceilidh music throughout, all whilst helpfully guiding us through the dances! They also catered for our needs to work the first dance into proceedings and finished with some excellent versions of the closing songs we’d requested to end the night.

We would highly recommend them for your wedding!

Lewis and Merlin."

"Charlie and the band were absolutely great! From communications at the start until the night. Very prompt in replying to any questions I had. They went above and beyond to help our guests learn the moves to all the dances.
They really were fantastic and would recommend them."
