About it's no' reel scottish ceilidh band
We're one of the UK's finest professional Scottish ceilidh bands. We've been performing together for over 14 years, bringing our fresh, contemporary ceilidh experience to weddings, parties, celebrations and corporate events throughout the UK and Europe.
Our ceilidhs feature some of Scotland's most renowned folk musicians and a brilliantly fun, energetic caller. We pride ourselves on offering a reliable, professional service from start to finish, making us the ideal band to create the most memorable ceilidh night.
We have ceilidh'd at hundreds of events and weddings throughout the UK, at wee village halls right up to the likes of Hopetoun House, Gleneagles, Cromlix, Cameron House and Edinburgh Castle. Our ceilidh adventures have taken us to weddings in Italy, Spain, and The French Riviera, too. We also performed at the BBC Scotland Hogmanay Show not so long ago.

WHY IT'S NO' REEL
CEILIDH BAND?
OUR DJ PACKAGE
Our DJ package is a brilliant way of giving your guests the perfect mix of ceilidh and disco music. We'd often do a DJ set towards the end of the night. We encourage our clients to send us a list of tracks that we will aim to include in the set, which also gives us a good idea of the sort of music you're into too! The tracks are mixed using a Numark interface and iPad, and we can also take requests from our huge library of tracks too!
