About Wee Cabin Ceilidh Band

We are a Scottish ceilidh trio with a strong folk-rock sound: our ceilidh tunes & songs are lead by the electric mandolin/banjo.

Public liability insurance of £10 million

We are a band of very experienced musicians working in the Glasgow area. We now work as a trio, Mandolin, guitar and percussion, plus vocals. Altogether we have performed separately in hundreds of professional gigs and met in early 2022 to set up this lively ceilidh band. We perform jigs, reels and hornpipes for the popular dances: Strip the Willow, Dashing White sergeant, Canadian barn dance, The Gay Gordons, Boston two-step, Circassian circle, and more. We'll help you through the dances if you're not sure of the steps. We're singers too: expect a selection of popular songs with a Scottish flavour, from artists such as Paulo Nuttini, Amy Macdonld, Primal Scream, The Proclaimers and more. When we put on a show we're really having a party, and it's one you will enjoy being part of. If you want a special song to request for your special occsssion, we'll be happy to learn it for you if you give us a bit of notice. We arrive fully equipped with good quality instruments and our own sound system and are happy to travel anywhere in the West of Scotland. So if you want a great ceilidh event where everyone can join in, give us a call and let's party. We can perform for two or three sets of around 45 minutes.

These guys were brilliant and suited us perfectly. The music was good everybody danced and the next day we were all still saying how good it had been. We were a small group of friends having a weekend away at a county house to celebrate a milestone birthday. There were mixed abilities when it came to Ceilidh dancing. It could so easily have been a disaster with some feeling too embarrassed to take part but Hugh and the guys were wonderful putting all at ease. If you are looking for traditional Ceilidh with everyone knowing exactly what they are doing maybe these are not the guys. If you want a right good party Scottish ceilidh then give these boys a try, you will not be disappointed.

Hugh and the band did an absolutely brilliant job. They made a great graduation event a fantastic one for the students and were well received. Very patient with a group that largely hadn't done a Ceilidh before. Excellent band and did a good mix of music, very much recommend

It was our pleasure. The audience were very enthusiastic. It helps the band if everyone is in a good mood and came to enjoy themselves.

A great wee ceilidh night at Jimmy's bar (downstairs at the Park Bar) A really lively, friendly band who took it in their stride when the dancers came up with their own versions of some dances! Excellent musicians. Jane, Glasgow.
