Your First Dance

Choosing your first dance can be a tricky task, and you can either have a song which is special to you, or dance to the band for a 'first waltz'. This is an opportunity for your guests to take photographs before being invited up to join the bride and groom for the ceilidh dancing.

Into the Ceilidh Dancing

All of the dances can be called out so that your guests can all join in even if they have never done ceilidh dancing before, and the popular favourites are covered such as The Gay Gordon's, Strip the Willow, Dashing White Sergeant, Flying Scotsman, Military Two-Step, Eightsome Reel, Canadian Barn Dance, as well as some less well known, but equally fun dances.

The Ceilidh usually finishes up with a big Orcadian Strip the Willow to bring everybody back on the floor with the bride and groom at the top of the set to start things off.

Ceilidh all evening, or Ceilidh & Disco combination

Whether you want Ceilidh dancing all evening or a mixture of Ceilidh and Disco, HotScotch will keep the party going.

HotScotch can provide a disco package to compliment the ceilidh. A vast library of music covering all eras up to the latest chart hits will ensure that every taste can be catered for. Requests are very welcome on the night and if there are particular songs that you would like us to play you can provide a list for the DJ in advance.

It can be difficult to judge the balance of Ceilidh and Disco beforehand, but HotScotch Ceilidh Band are experienced in gauging the crowd and are entirely flexible, so as to guarantee you and your guests have a fabulous night.

This Scottish Ceilidh Band use high quality professional audio equipment to provide a superior sound and the combination of accordion, fiddle and drums will keep your feet tapping all night.
