A fantastic ceilidh band.

Cragganmore Ceilidh Band played for our wedding and put on a brilliant night's entertainment for ourselves and the guests. We had quite a few non Scottish relatives there and Ian who was calling got all but a few involved and on the dance floor, great crowd engagement.
It ended the night beautifully and everyone left in great spirits.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Thankyou Cragganmore!

We booked Craggonmore Ceilidh band for our wedding and wow wow wow, we had SUCH a great evening!
Cameron is really lovely & was super helpful in organising everything via email.
The band were amazing, and the caller was great (as half of our guests had never been to a Ceilidh before), no one left the dance floor at any point, even when Cameron took over for the DJ, the dance floor was still packed. We spoke through with Cameron what we wanted and he met the brief perfectly. I’d highly recommend booking the band & DJ package! Thanks so much again guys, me and all of our guests loved you!
