The West Highlands of Scotland has always been fertile ground for attracting and nurturing traditional talent and this grouping of musical giants is a testament to that. All based in the world-famous village of Glenfinnan (think Harry Potter & Hogwarts Express!), the GF Ceilidh Band members include stalwarts from the traditional music world who are as at home playing large concert venues as intimate bothy cèilidhs. The band have been together for over twenty-five years playing for weddings, birthdays, concert sets and any type of gathering you can think of.
Formed originally for the sheer fun of playing good music, together their unique blend of West Highland dance music will get your toes tapping no matter your age or stage in life! And supposing you've never done ceilidh dancing in your life this band will encourage and support you to learn the steps and join in to have as much fun as is legally possible at an event!
“A band you can actually dance to! A rare commodity in this ever-racing world, with a musicality that is very refreshing.”
Based in Glenfinnan, Inverness-Shire

We need a performance space of at least 8m x 5m with 4 chairs. We require 2 x 13 amp power sockets and 1 parking space close to the performance space entrance if possible.
We have our own PA system.
An address & any particular directions to the venue would be helpful. Also, the most appropriate entrance to load in our equipment. We're happy to liaise with the venue about any other details.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify between our sets. We’re can choose the music ourselves or let the client plug in a device to our equipment. Any music for after our set would need to be discussed.
We performed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and had the whole of George Square doing ceilidh dancing. Great fun and a great way to keep fit!
Any instrumental Sottish music that gets you moving gets our vote!
All the Glenfinnan Ceilidh Band members have been playing music since a very young age. We formed together more than 25 years ago just for fun and we've now performed at literally hundreds of weddings, parties and events all over Scotland.
We love playing lots of difference events. Concerts are fun and our performances in theatres and at Folk Festivals have been memorable. But playing for weddings is already great fun. Everyone is so happy and totally up for dancing and joining in.
We normally arrive an hour before the event time and need about 45mins to set up. We can cover a full evening event which might run from 7.30 - 11.30pm with a break but we can also do part of the night in one block if other entertainment is being used. We're happy to be flexible to suit the client and can do earlier if families are involved.
We're are happy to perform outside if we have a level surface that is sheltered and no midges!!
We have a repertoire of dances and pieces that we work from but clients are welcome to request Ceilidh Dances that they would like. We can also learn a special piece of music for a first dance if appropriate.
