5 out of 5

Excellent music and caller, thoroughly good night, thank you very much!

We're just back from our honeymoon and wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the band for playing at our wedding. It was an absolute joy to hear you play and thoroughly enjoyed your set. It was a pleasure to have you all there and we're delighted that we chose HotScotch Ceilidh Band to to help us celebrate our special day.

Thanks again to you and the band for playing at our wedding last weekend, everyone loved the dances, the DJ set after was great, and you were a pleasure to deal with before the event. I know you probably do a lot of weddings so it was nice to see you enjoying it so much and smiling, we appreciated it

Customer questions

Can you perform covers?

No I'm afraid we don't do covers, but can provide a full disco & lighting set-up should you wish to have a mixture of music.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our regular line-up is as a three-piece (accordion, Fiddle & Drums) but if budgets are tight we can also go out as a two-piece (Accordion & Drums)

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We are very flexible and will do our best to accommodate any changes to the timings when the final schedules are confirmed. We will always be in touch a little before the event to go over the details including timings so there are no surprises on the night itself.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we provide a full DJ service and happy to take requests on the night from your guests. You can also send a list of your favourite songs beforehand to be added into the playlist for the night. Equally if you already have a playlist on an IPOD or similar we can plug that into the PA system directly for you.

How much time do you need to set up?

Our set-up takes around 30 minutes, but we will usually aim to arrive around an hour before the performance time.

Do you provide a caller?

Yes Paul, our Accordionist is an experienced dance caller and will take you through the steps as required, so that everybody can join in and have a great night!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Please let us know if any special requests and we will do our best to accommodate.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA) included in your quote?

Can you learn song requests before the event?
