Scottish Dance Music

Why book yousedancin? -

• We play Scottish ceilidhmusic in a lively, highly danceable style. The combination of piano, fiddle, bagpipes and percussion is distinctive and great to dance to, with a strong, driving rhythm.
• We're all dancers as well as musicians and that comes across in our music.
• We don't use sheet music. This means we can watch and interact with the dancers, adapting our music to suit the dancing.
• We call (explain) every dance, giving clear instructions and friendly guidance to make sure that everyone enjoys the dance.
• We use an excellent PA system. Our set-up time is less than 30 minutes and you will hear every beat of the music.
