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.

"We had the most incredible wedding ceilidh party with The Edinburgh Ceilidh Band! Mathew and his band were brilliant - the night brought together our Scottish family with our German family for the first time, which meant that half the room had never experienced a ceilidh before. The band patiently explained the steps, played amazingly for hours and created such a fun and memorable night for us. Thank you!!"

"Matthew and the rest of the band were fantastic! Really quick communication on the lead up to the day and throughout the evening as well. They read the room and got almost everyone up dancing. They sorted out our first dance too. I would highly recommend them for your wedding, we had lots of positive comments about the ceilidh from our guests!"

"Matthew and the band were amazing! They did such an amazing job at our charity's ceilidh, walking everyone through the dances and keeping energy up all night. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great ceilidh band for all abilities :)"

"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."
