Memphis Skyline Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 A friend is coming over from Australia to get married next year and is making a lot of her plans/arrangements from there. She was hoping I could recommend her a good ceilidh band for the occasion but I don't happen to know any. Can anyone suggest any that they've seen playing weddings or other occasions? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oedo 808 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Also, to interfere a little bit more she might want to have a think about whether she really wants to hear Ceilidh music all night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Skyline Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for the tips - the wedding is in Maryculter next year. If anyone else has seen any that impressed them, I'd be glad to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandmanager Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Clachan Yell are fantastic. I recently went to a charity event and they were playing. They are really good at getting everyone up on the dance floor and explaining how to do each dance - so even if you are a beginner you find yourself joining in. Perfect for a wedding.
