Erin hired Forth Ceilidh Band for a Private event (available in Dundee)

Verified Review, 12 September 2025

"Staffin Island were truly wonderful at our gathering for about 20 friends. They brought in additional staff members to stand in for tired dancers so that we always had a sufficient number of people on the dancefloor. Our group was international, and the caller made an excellent job in explaining all the dances to complete novices, as well as dropping in a couple of interesting facts about Ceilidh dancing. The music was of top quality, the songs were well sequenced, and we really enjoyed their acoustic covers in the breaks. They also accommodated a small request for a fiddle cover for a pop song. We honestly couldn't be happier, as were our guests, some of whom asked for their contacts for their own celebrations."
