About

Booking the Rock Ceilidh Band and disco means you get a full-piece band comprising electric fiddle, electric guitar, bass and drums. Each member is a highly experienced and skilled musician. We play toe-tapping, high-energy ceilidh tunes blended with snippets and riffs from many modern songs. Modernity and tradition are in perfect harmony.
Your guests will be in safe hands, even if complete ceilidh novices. As experienced ceilidh dance callers, we will guide them step by step through the most popular dances and a few more unusual dances, too, using fun-filled banter. This ensures that everyone will be able to fully participate in your party.
Our 4-piece 'rock-ceilidh band' consists of - fiddle/caller/DJ + bass + electric guitar + drums
Our 3-piece 'rock-ceilidh band' (minus bass guitar)' consists of - fiddle/caller/DJ + guitar + drums
Our 2-piece 'traditional ceilidh band' consists of - fiddle/caller/DJ/Stompbox* + guitar
*Stompbox is a foot percussion to enhance the beat
Our quotes are for entertainment for a pre-arranged block of up to four consecutive hours of entertainment before midnight and include a disco if required. For entertaining in excess of four hours or after midnight, the fee is an additional £25 per person per half hour.
Please note, we do not sing and bring disco instead so we can cater to all requests and tastes.
Most clients prefer ceilidh until buffet and then disco afterwards. However, because we bring disco with us, we can be flexible if the ceilidh is going particularly well.
We will arrive 1 hour beforehand to set up and soundcheck, ensuring everything is primed and ready to go at your chosen start time. All our sound and light equipment is PAT tested, and we have public liability insurance of £10m.
Rock Ceilidh Band is a wedding band based out of Armadale, Lothian & Borders.
