Ceol Beag Ceilidh Band Professional 3 or 4-piece ceilidh band & caller.

We provide all our own PA equipment, so access to nearby power sockets are required.

Performance area should be large enough to accommodate bass, stage piano, fiddle/caller guitar, lighting and space to safely install the sound system.

We can provide a power generator (for band use only) if necessary, however this would need to be known in advance.

Yes we provide both sound equipment and lighting.
We use a professional 24 channel digital mixer with Turbosound mains and sub speakers.
Our dance floor lighting is DMX computer controlled.

We would like to be know in advance if there are sound limiters installed.

Yes we often play popular songs between or after ceilidh sets. We find that the DJ portion in more popular after the ceilidh dancing. As always, we're happy to adapt to what you wish for the night. We are happy to stream music from the client's playlist or choose the music ourselves.

We've played a a lot of great gigs, both large and small.
Maybe a couple of great venues we played at was the Trump Hotel in Turnberry, the EICC in Edinburgh and the fantastic Loch Lomond Golf Club.

Most of the acts on Celtic Connections

We are all well used to playing professionally and have done so together and individually for many years.
Since creating Ceol Beag Ceilidh Band in 2017, we've played at numerous weddings, birthday parties, family parties, anniversary events, Hogmanay ceilidhs

That's difficult one to answer. All events are great fun and our enjoyment in playing transfers to the dancers on the floor. The most important event for us is the success of your event.
As we like to say, "If it wisnae fun, it wisnae us"

We don't usually mind appropriate use of our microphone for announcements etc by clients.
We are also happy to link your mobile phone to our sound system provided we have a connection.
No responsibility is taken by any member of the band for client's device while connected to our PA system.

We prefer one hour to setup our equipment, however once the PA is connected, we can play background music or use your playlist until you are ready to begin dancing.

We usually play for for a minimum of 2 hours including a 1/2 hour break and regularly play up to midnight.
We are easy to work with, so if you require something different, please get in touch.

While the band on it's break, we are happy to play your music playlist through our PA .

Please bear in mind that we need time to pack away the equipment and instruments at the end of the event, so take that into account when hiring your venue. Normally we can have everything packed up within 30 minutes.

We are happy to play outside, but we need to be under cover. There should be a power supply nearby, or if our power generator is required. Power supply availability should be known beforehand.

We have an extensive list of dances and are always happy to adapt to the client's request for a specific dance or tune.
We are happy to learn new dances e.g. for Jewish weddings and bat mitzvah celebrations.
For popular songs, if we have the tune in our DJ set then it is no problem to play it during the event. Let us know in advance and we'll have it available on the night

We describe ourselves as an upbeat, contemporary and modern ceilidh band and that's exactly how our clients have described us in their reviews. Have a look for yourselves and check out our reviews.
