"A great evening . The band gauged the audience’s enthusiasm, fitness and ability to dance perfectly . Caller was patient, humorous and succinct and music comprised good traditional tunes. Particularly impressed by their ability to improvise in a long narrow dance space and allow us to execute The Dashing White Sergeant successfully! "

The Big Shoogle
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Davie and the Big Shoogle were absolutely outstanding!! We had guests from quite literally all over the world and each and every one of them was up dancing at some point and fell in love with a good old fashioned Scottish ceilidh! There was a great mix of dances from the basic of the gay Gordon’s to what can only be described as flying planks! All our guests had a ball which is down to the upbeat and charismatic craic of Davie and his band. We were officially Shoogled! "

"Alison, Willie and their band were very friendly and put on an absolutely brilliant ceilidh, putting people who weren't too sure of the steps at ease, having fun, really really great music and knowing which dances to play and when to up the tempo. It was a really brilliant ceilidh, and afterwards they used their sound system for a disco. We very highly recommend."

FAQs about hiring Engagement Party Ceilidh Bands in Falkirk

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

What kind of ceilidh bands are there?

There are basically two types of ceilidh band: traditional instrumental bands, and ceilidh cover bands. A traditional ceilidh band will perform Scottish folk tunes without a singer. Importantly, a traditional band will include a caller: they'll announce the dances, shout instructions to beginners, and get everyone involved in the revelry! In contrast, a ceilidh cover band will mix the folk tunes with modern pop covers. They'll have a singer, and provide a wide range of music for all to enjoy: young and old.

Which parts of an event or wedding will the ceilidh band play at?

In the spirit of leaving the best until last, the ceilidh band will usually wrap up celebrations, providing an exciting musical finale for your special day. The band caller will ensure you and your guests know the moves for each dance, giving everyone the opportunity to get involved. Plus, if you haven't had the chance to say hello to everyone during the course of the day, you might just find yourself dancing with them before it's over! Ceilidh dances can be pretty tiring, so having it at the end of the day is a smart choice - your guests will certainly thank you for it!

Will I need to provide the ceilidh band with any equipment?

Professional ceilidh bands come fully kitted-out with all the equipment needed to get the dancing underway, including amplification and a mixing desk. If your wedding venue is regularly used for live music, they will likely have a dedicated in-house PA sound system - in this case, the band may not need to bring their own amplification.

How much space will I need for ceilidh dancing?

The more space, the better! Ceilidh dancing takes up a lot more room on the dance floor than your typical disco. Other than that: make sure table are removed (encourages dancing!), seats are available to the side, and there are no obstacles near the dance floor. Broken bones ain't craic.

Do traditional ceilidh bands take requests?

Not usually. Unless you have a specific Scottish or Irish tune in mind, the band will normally play a pre-planned set, designed to perfection and gleaned from years of experience. If you have a special song in mind, make sure you tell the band well in advance. It might just get added to their repertoire!
