Odia are a Scottish Ceilidh Band with a kick. Jigs and Reels to get you up for a Ceilidh dance mixed with some classic Scottish covers from Runrig to Amy Macdonald and The Water Boys to Robert Burns. The Scottish wedding experience you have been looking for! Recent performance credits include BBC Introducing for Celtic Connections 2022 and The Danny Kyke Stage at Celtic Connections 2023. We call the dances too so if you have never been to a Ceilidh don't worry! We will explain all the steps in a fun, friendly and polite manner from the Gay Gordons to the Dashing White Sergeant.

ODIA's Reviews

"Their sophisticated music blends alt-beats with tender vocals and cinematic production..."

"Honestly it’s like nothing we’ve ever experienced before, but you probably wouldn’t know unless we mentioned it. With that being said though, Prize Fighter has such a nostalgic yet futuristic feel about it from song to song"
