Description

Price from: £420

We just want to give your guests the best fun & frolic on the dancefloor and we have full-proof ways of getting everyone involved right from the start with our well honed 'icebreaker' dances. No knowledge of ceilidh or barndance is needed, every dance is explained by our experienced caller - a couple of walk throughs and you're good to go with the music and a few well timed reminders.
Over the years we've curated a bunch of tried and tested folk tune/dance combinations from England, Ireland and Scotland which dancing guests will love - brought to you by lively, 3 or 4 piece band of excellent musicians featuring fantastic fiddle, caller/guitar/mandolin, bass guitar and drummer.
Brilliant for weddings, parties, festivals, corporate and outdoor events. As each celebration is unique we tailor our set to get the best out of your guests; guaranteed to bring all the generations together.
Wedding First Dance options, post ceilidh discos, all day packages, special requests considered.

SCOTTISH CEILIDHS
As well as an eclectic set we can also provide a more Scottish leaning experience with classics such as The Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant, Orcadian Strip The Willow, The Flying Scotsman, Highland Barndance and Circassion Circle.
The Grand March, with pre recorded music, is also available - a great traditional way to start any wedding. ​
