About / Biography

Point Five formed in 2010 to play weddings for our friends and relatives. Word spread, and we've refined our performances to suit a range of events. We’ve played for international conferences, universities, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and more, at all types of venue: hotels, burgh halls, student unions, tents, small rooms and big rooms!

We can offer a dedicated caller, who will show you the dances from the dancefloor, and we do non-gendered calling.

Our full line-up includes three fiddles, piano, guitar and dance caller, adjustable according to your needs and budget. We work with you to understand what you want for your event, and we'll tailor what we do to that.
