"Fairdin were the perfect choice for our party. So many guests have commented on how good they were and even people who don't usually get up and dance were up learning the dances with everyone else. "

Ceòl Beag Ceilidh Band
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"We had the best experience with Ceòl Beag! They were relaxed, accomodating and created a brilliant atmosphere for our guests. We had a lot of Spanish speakers at our wedding, and they organised a Spanish speaking caller who also was a piper! We couldn't have asked for a better ceilidh, our only regret was that we didn't hire them for longer because we didn't want to stop dancing! Thank you so much!"
