About / Biography

Booking the Rock Ceilidh Band and disco means you get a full 4 piece ‘rock-ceilidh’ band comprising electric fiddle, electric guitar, bass and drums. We are all highly experienced and skilled musicians. We play toe-tapping high-energy ceilidh tunes blended with snippets and riffs from many modern songs. But don't just take our word for it - Lorraine Kelly described us as "You guys ROCK!!!"


Your guests will be in safe hands, even if they complete ceilidh novices. As experienced ceilidh dance callers we will guide them step by step through the most popular dances, and a few more unusual dances too using fun-filled banter. This ensures that everyone will be able to fully participate in your party.


Please note, we do not sing and bring disco instead so we can cater to all requests and tastes.

Most clients prefer ceilidh until buffet and then disco afterwards, however, because we bring disco with us we can be flexible if the ceilidh is going particularly well.


We will arrive 1 hour beforehand to set up and soundcheck, ensuring everything is primed and ready to go at your chosen start time. All our sound and light equipment is PAT tested and we have public liability insurance of £10m.


Our equipment comprises of 2 x QSC K12 speakers (1000w each)

Allen and Heath's Mixing desk

dB Technologies Cromo 8 monitor

Lights - 2 x Chauvet 6 spot quad ISC, 2 x Chauvet Mini Kinta, 2 ADJ flood lights, 1 x Kam laser.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We require power for our speakers, mixing desk, lights etc.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

We recently played for Edinburgh University's Chem Ball and it was incredible! All the students danced for all the dances and there wasn't a spare space even on the carpet. It was a brilliant night.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite! The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We require one hour to set up and one hour at the end to dismantle and unload. Performance time for a ceilidh is for a block of up to four hours of entertainment before midnight and includes disco if required.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients can ask for specific dances and, for the disco, they can also send us a playlist.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous customers have told us that they love the rock twist in our music and they enjoy watching how it takes their guests by surprise!
