Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients love not just our sound and musicianship, but the way we guide guests through the dances - many of whom have never been to a ceilidh before!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
We've performed at various venues around Scotland (and slightly further afield!) including Oran Mor, Alexander House near Auchterarder, the Bruntsfield Hotel and even The Forum in Barrow-in-Furness.
Can you perform covers?
Yes, we have a range of instrumental covers we're happy to perform in addition to the traditional Ceilidh music
Do you have different line-up options?
We do - although 'ceithir' means 'four' in Gaelic, we quite often go out as a two-piece of fiddle and guitar, or as three-piece configurations of fiddle, guitar, drums - and even recently swapped out the drums for double bass.
If your event or budget requires a smaller, more acoustic line-up then we'd be more than happy to chat through what we can do.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
You can let us know exactly what your requirements are for the night - we can be flexible to some degree so just let us know ASAP if your timings shift.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes - we can play Spotify through our PA between sets and just after we've finished playing to keep the atmosphere alive.
How much time do you need to set up?
We require roughly an 45 mins to an hour to set up properly, and ensure that our system sounds good and is prepped for the dancing to start!
Do you provide a caller?
We absolutely do! Multiple members of Ceithir have experience calling Ceilidhs, so rest assured we come fully capable of directing our dances both clearly and concisely.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
If there's a ceilidh dance or trad tune you'd love to have guaranteed at your event, don't hesitate to ask and we'd be happy to make it work with our set!
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA) included in your quote?
Yes - our quote includes use of our PA, mics, Spotify playback, our instruments; and of course, our charming selves! Our quote also factors in the cost of fuel getting to your gig for one or two cars depending on a multitude of factors.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
If a song or ceilidh dance isn't included in our set list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
