The SL Scottish Ceilidh Band

An all Scottish ceilidh band, the SL Ceilidh Band has been around for fifteen years, during which time it has built up a performance expertise which few bands can match.

With a top-class front line of fiddle, accordion, banjo/mandolin, supported by double bass, guitar/caller, the band offers a rich variety of sounds from gentle waltzes to rollicking reels and jigs. Add in some wonderful singing and a lot of excellent (and patient !) calling in several languages, and you have a band for all occasions.

So if you're looking for an experienced group for that wedding, concert, festival, special occasion or corporate event, try the SL Ceilidh Band. Bookings can be tailored from three or four musicians to the full six-piece outfit depending on your needs and the size of venue.

The band can play music for every imaginable Scottish dance, from waltz or strathspey to jigs, reels, hornpipes, two-step, march (6/8 or 2/4) etc. Their repertoire runs to 100s of tunes.

Testimonials

Wedding"Just a quick email before we go off on our honeymoon early tomorrow morning. I just wanted to thank you and the rest of the band for helping to make our night at the Gleneagles Hotel very special. Everyone loved the Ceilidh which showed by the fact that the floor was full for every dance ! Many thanks.
Wedding"This is to say how much everyone appreciated the your wonderful contribution to our daughter Caroline's wedding party. There was no mistaking the huge enjoyment our guests had from the ceilidh dancing - for many of them it was the first time but I didn't notice many hanging back ! That was thanks to the warm, inclusive style of your caller as well as the toe-tapping irresistibility of your music. Our sincere thanks to all of you."
Retirement partyThe band really made Stan's recent retirement ceilidh (at the Robert Douglas Memorial Institue, Scone) an enjoyable celebration, with a good mixture of slow and fast dances, including a few especially for the younger guests! Their direction enabled everyone to join in regardless of their knowledge of the dances. Would certainly be pleased to call upon the band again in future and would recommend to anyone looking for a good ceilidh.
ConferenceThank you to the band for a fantastic ceilidh! You really set the bar high for any future GAPA conference. The congratulations were abundant the next morning. When I asked if everyone had slept well after the ceilidh there was a round of applause. It was great to see so many nations coming together and actually enjoying the dances, which they did in style.
