When it comes to ceilidh dancing we understand that not everyone knows what to do. So a dance caller will be supplied to guide the guests through the steps in a light-hearted fun manner.
Ceilidh dancing is all about having a great time. We make that part of our job to make it fun for all ages.
As well as providing music for ceilidhs, the band is also experienced at traditional reeling and Scottish country dances.
The band has travelled to France, The Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Spain, Kenya and Oman to play for functions, with more trips scheduled in the future.

"When you’ve got a night to celebrate, and you’re are going big then you go with the Edinburgh Ceilidh band. We had them for our wedding and I’m so chuffed with that decision. They were patient in letting people assemble, they give the right amount of instruction to get people going and are just very very warm in terms of presence. The selection is excellent and they let you have a breather when you are needing it. I cannot recommend them enough. We wish them all the best and they will forever hold a special place in our life.
Warmest Regards, Jane & George "
"We booked The Edinburgh Ceilidh band for our wedding near Inverness and we were so happy that we did. Most of our guests had never been to a ceilidh before so it was important that we had clear instructions for each dance, and Matthew did this perfectly. The ceilidh was a highlight of the day for everyone and we would recommend this band to anyone who is looking for a ceilidh band for a wedding, or any other event. Matthew was always quick to respond to emails beforehand which eases the stress when planning a wedding (or any event!) "
"We were really pleased with the Edinburgh Ceilidh Band. We had a small wedding with 35 guests, half of which travelled in from abroad and had never danced a ceilidh before. The band made the ceilidh super fun and easy enough to follow, and all the guests had lots of fun. The music was great, and the band was very interactive and followed the pace of the party - even when it was clear people needed a minute - or two - to recover! Since the wedding, the guests keep referring back to the ceilidh as one of the high points of the evening. Couldn’t recommend enough :) "
"We absolutely loved having Matthew and the Edinburgh Ceilidh Band at our wedding — they talked everyone through the dances (with a bit of humour for those who struggled), were very talented, and suited the vibe of our chill Scottish wedding. Would definitely recommend!"
