Simply amazing - Never tried Ceilidh before and we will definitely do this again
Jennie A booked The Blazing Ceilidh for their event in Edinburgh
“I have to admit to being a little nervous having never used a Ceilidh band before and my booking was for a corporate gala dinner. The show reels looked great but the experience in real life was much better. The calling and explaining the moves really made everyone relax and want to join in, the music was brilliant and everyone loved it. Definitely would recommend the band to anyone”
Matthew K booked The Blazing Ceilidh for their Wedding in Perth and Kinross
“What a night. The band played for a few hours at my wedding. The guests hardly sat down and we almost had to call an ambulance for one of them! Lots of English guests who had never been to a ceilidh before and they loved every second. My best man wiped out the fiddler by accident during “strip the willow” sorry about that! Thanks lads. It was brilliant.”
Outstanding band with a lot of energy
Ivar M booked The Blazing Ceilidh for their Wedding in Perth and Kinross
“Amazing band, they were the perfect way to end such a special day, couldn't recommend highly enough. Very professional singing and playing with pleny of banter too which made it fun for everyone. We had guests from overseas and the calling was so good, everyone got involved.”
Absolutely amazing, thoroughly recommended!
Barbora B booked The Blazing Ceilidh for their Wedding in Fife
“The best band that we could have hired for our wedding! The drums add so much energy and the whole band was very personable and interacted with our guests which made the overall experience even more fun. About 95% of our guests had never even heard of ceilidh before but that didn’t prove to be a challenge for the caller at all. We would highly recommend this young, energetic and very professional band for any ceilidh occasion. Thank you!!”
