Johnny Mac Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 As per the title? Getting married soon and have been getting some horrendous quotes from some bands. Surely someone on here can point me in the direction of decent bands in the area? At this rate it'll be a laptop hooked up to Spotify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 What do you want? Ceilidh band or a mix?Sadly it's also one of those bits of a wedding that can be worth spending more on. I've seen some really dodgy bands at some weddings. One at a cousin's wedding was booked on basis of playing a mix of pop and ceilidh music then refused to play any ceilidh tunes on the night and had a really limited repertoire. We saw a few ceilidh bands and the cheaper ones weren't nearly as good as the more expensive ones (could play the tunes well enough but no energy). Ended up with Clachan Yell who were awesome. Cabrach were pretty good and a bit cheaper though so might be worth checking them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladstone Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I always recommend Fusion - they played at my wedding. It's half of Eskimo Blonde - you'll find them online - contact the singer Mike. Good mix of pop tunes and the odd Scottish dance. A lot of the people that came to my wedding booked them off the back of it, which speaks volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ol' sun Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Danse McCabre... all female ceilidh band.Don't know how much they cost to play, I have heard they're pretty reasonable. Their pretty good if you are looking for a ceilidh band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm sure Sidca would do it for a reasonable price. Pitching in to agree with Chris, Clachan Yell are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Who's paying 2k for a wedding band? Holy shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) That's my point, I certainly won't be paying 2k for a band.... extortionate. Hence the request for alternatives.... Edited December 10, 2013 by Johnny Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
