Description:
We love to ceilidh, and we'd love to help you wth yours. Dance calling included, optional DJ service, live first dance song, ceremony and/or drinks reception background music, covers set... The Brogues love to ceilidh - they’ve been doing it for years, and they don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. And they’d love to help you with your next one. With a history of organising dances and concerts for visitors on the Isle of Skye (home for two of them), they’ve since moved further afield, and have been involved in leading events across the UK and beyond. Active in writing their own tunes, the band’s sound is grounded in Scottish traditional folk music, with a modern feel. They’re a versatile bunch, though, adept at throwing in the odd fun quirk every now and then, and they’ll happily sing you a song or two (English or Gaelic) - just ask! In days gone by, almost every township or village in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland would have had a ‘ceilidh house’ - a place where people felt welcome, and found good company. It was here that folk shared the gift of entertaining each other in song, dance and story. It’s a custom that’s made Scotland famous throughout the world, and it’s this kind of atmosphere that the Brogues seek to create wherever they go. So whatever your event - big or small - get in touch and we’ll see what we can do. It would be our joy to help.

Artist frequently asked questions
The Brogues Ceilidh Band's FAQ
1. Can you perform covers?
Yes, you can add-on a covers set (with male & female vocals) for the 2-piece or 3-piece band - see our song list for some examples. We tend to recommend at least a 50/50 split for covers at a ceilidh, with perhaps a few more ceilidh dances to keep your guests happy!
2. Do you have different line-up options?
Yes! Our core service is the 2-piece band, but you can add-on our drummer to give you the 3-piece band.
3. Do you provide a caller?
Yes we do! We always have an experienced caller with us at ceilidhs to guide the dancing clearly & confidently, so you don't need to worry about finding one.
4. What's the most high profile gig you've performed?
A wedding at Bob Dylan's private mansion in the Scottish Highlands!
5. Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, absolutely! This service comes included in our price. We can use your playlists or our own, with folk/ceilidh tunes, classic DJ rock/pop/soul favourites, ambient/chilled background music... whatever the occasion requires.
6. How much time do you need to set up?
We need around an hour to setup & soundcheck, immediately before the live music & dancing starts. 90 minutes if it's the 3-piece band and you've added a covers set. As soon as our PA is set up, we'll put on our playlist to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready!
7. Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat it through and make sure we find what works for your event.
8. Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Yes, everything is included in our quotes - PAT-tested sound equipment & lighting. We need access to mains power (via plug sockets or generator extensions).

"Wow wow wow. Now that we’ve just about recovered Liam and I wanted to say massive thank you to you and the boys. You gave us the absolute night of our lives. Both of us, and so so many of our guests think you guys are the best wedding band we’ve ever seen. You were absolutely stunning in every sense of the word. We had an absolute ball at the ceilidh and every single song for the dj set was a banger. All of our friends were raving about you. I’ve been asked at least ten times for your name over the last two days! It was fantastic. Liam and I are so grateful. Thank you so very much, it was the best night of both of our lives!"
