Based in Glasgow, The Iconic Ceilidh Band has travelled all over Scotland, Ireland and England providing beautiful and uplifting traditional dance music for all types of parties, including weddings, birthdays and charity events. With a strong and patient caller, everybody is included and encouraged to dance in the ceilidhs, and the toe-tapping music itself makes it impossible for the party-goers to stay in their seats.

Alternatively, if the event only requires great traditional music rather than a ceilidh, we have a huge repertoire and can keep any crowd entertained with reels, jigs, hornpipes, waltzes, polkas and airs.

The standard line up is a trio consisting of three professional musicians: a fiddler, a bagpiper/flute, and guitarist, with the piper doubling up as the caller for the dances. The band can be expanded to a 4 or 5 piece on request, which usually means the addition of a drummer or another tune player such as accordion.

The price given for each event includes us bringing our own PA system, and lights can also be brought on request. We often DJ between ceilidh dances and afterwards for a disco, and if you would like this service as well please let us know.
