Scottish Dance Music

Why book yousedancin? -

  • We play traditional Scottish dance music in a lively, highly danceable style. The combination of piano, violin and bagpipes is distinctive and great to listen to as well as to dance to, with a strong, driving rhythm.
  • We're all keen 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 if necessary, 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.

Want to hear us play? Click on the sound files below:

1. Reels (Dashing White Sergeant etc.)
2. Jigs (Strip the Willow etc.)
