Introduction
The Staffin Island ceilidh band, based in Central Scotland is blessed with a talented, dedicated caller, who excels at getting bums off seats and onto the dance floor. They have a fantastic range of cover songs under their sporrans, including a few traditional numbers. They teach a variety of dances, from the traditional to the down right funky, and play some lively tuneful arrangements.
Testimonials
In a nutshell
To this end we have a big selection of dances, a lively sound, great cover songs, and a caller who really knows his stuff. He’s great at teaching the dances to even the biggest groups of beginners, and will even shout out reminders along the way.
Our pricing is very competitive and also includes excellent deal rates for charities and student society events. Please drop us a message for a quick quote and more information. We are based in Dundee but will happily travel out to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond!
We do covers of popular songs in our own unique style, with a repertoire of covers ranging from Phil Collins to the Lumineers, and from the Beatles to Amy Winehouse.
