About

The Wild Geese Ceilidh band have been playing venues big and small all over Scotland since they formed in 1996. They have a regular public gig at the Ghillie Dhu in Edinburgh, but have played at venues from the Queens Hall in Edinburgh to Weddings at Culzean castle and Blair House in the west and even a small birthday party barbeque in Midlothian!

The band have an experienced dance caller - who engages the audience and walks and talks them through a set of specially selected ceilidh dances to suit beginners and/or the more advanced audiences. He is noted for being able to involve audiences from all parts of the world.

The band can provide incidental music by way of playing our iPod through the PA between sets or you can bring your own but they also offer an experienced Weddings DJ with lightshow and full Disco PA as part of a ceilidh/disco package.

As an added option they'll provide a Celtic harp player, Sarai who can perform ambient background music at your event and the band guitarist can perform latin-american jazz bar guitar music as background if required.

Where are they based?

The band is based in Edinburgh but play at events all over Scotland, including Glasgow, Ayrshire, Scottish Borders, East and Midlothian and will travel to the North of England
