The Drams Ceilidh Band is delighted to provide music for any event; Weddings, Corporate Entertainment, Ceilidh's, Birthday Parties or any other engagement.

 

The band's standard four-piece line-up of fiddle, pipes/whistle, guitar and drums can be customised to suit the specific needs of your event.

​

Each band member is well versed in 'calling' the ceilidh dances. Directing & explaining the dance steps in a clear, fun manner. If your guests have never danced before, not to worry, the Drams are well-versed in calling for all nationalities and experience levels. Some examples of the dances include:

​

Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant, Canadian Barn Dance, Strip The Willow, Boston Two Step, Hoolligan's Jig, St. Bernard's Waltz, Circassian Circle, Cumberland Square Eight, Virgina Reel, Highland Scottishe, Military Two Step, Riverside Jig, Flying Scotsman, Orcadian Strip The Willow

The band can provide background music for any occasion, and are more than happy to organize a line-up suited to your event. Whether this be ceremony music for a wedding, or background music for a drinks recpetion, they will be able to tailor any combination of the musical  line-up to suit you needs.

​

For example, on a typical wedding day, we could provide:

- 2/3 piece band for Ceremony Music

- 2/3 piece band for Drinks Reception

- 2/3 piece band for Meal Background Music

A full night of high-energy ceilidh dancing is not for everyone, therefore the band can provide a DJ/Disco service for no additional cost. Their high-end PA System is more than suitable for playing music at a 'club like' quality, and the band can tailor a playlist to your musical tastes & desires.

 

One of the most common evening structures would typically be:

- Ceilidh Dancing (1.5 hours)

- Break with music in the background (30 minutes)

- DJ Disco (1 hour)

- Ceilidh Dancing to finish off the night (1 hour) 

- Ending Dances (Auld Lang Syne, Loch Lomond etc.)

 

The band are very flexible and are more than happy to adapt their performance to your request.

The Drams Bagpiper can pipe guests into your event and perform any duties requested.

 

A typical Bagpiper's Wedding Duties may include:

 

- Pipe guests in 30 mins prior to ceremony

- Pipe bridal party and bride down the aisle

- Pipe bride and groom back up the aisle

- Pipe outside ceremony

- Pipe guests into wedding breakfast

- Pipe in the top table/bride & groom  to the evening reception

As well as leading musicans in the Scottish Music Scene, the Drams Celidh Band are also experiecened composers of new, unquie music. They have had their compositions recorded on over 15 albums as well as being performed at high profile festivals and events worldwide.
