If you’ve ever been to an event where a Scottish Ceilidh band played you’ll no doubt remember it well. A Ceilidh band is a great way to make sure your party goes with a bang.
A Scottish Ceilidh band will make sure your dance floor is packed. With a Celtic band playing live, authentic music and an expert caller shouting out easy to follow Celtic dance moves, everyone will be up on their feet. The live music will be provided by an accordion, flute, fiddle, drums and keyboard and will sound distinctly Scottish. High energy songs will be played and there are accompanying dances to each and every song.
A caller is an important part of any Ceilidh band. They not only sing lyrics but importantly they are in charge of shouting out the dance moves to the participants. Each dance will build up slowly with plenty of time for practice. Simple instructions will be given including twirling your partner, crossing your arms and moving up the line. The caller will make sure all your guests are familiar with the dance moves before the tempo picks up, making it as suitable for novices as it is for experienced dancers. It’s the responsibility of the caller to judge how quickly guests are taking to the dances and progress it accordingly.
Don’t worry if you have guests coming on their own. A Ceilidh is as much as group dance as it is a dance for partners. Although most dances start off with a partner, many are progressive, meaning partners are swapped until everyone has had a chance to dance with everyone else. There is no room for shyness with a Ceilidh band! Some dances will start with two lines of people and everyone facing their partner, others will start with a big circle formation.
