Booking the BRCB and disco means you get a full 4 piece ‘rock-ceilidh’ band comprising electric fiddle, electric guitar, bass and drums. We are all highly experienced and skilled musicians. We play toe-tapping high energy ceilidh tunes blended with snippets and riffs from many modern songs. Your guests will be in safe hands, even if complete ceilidh novices. As an experienced ceilidh dance caller I will guide them step by step through the most popular dances, and a few more unusual dances too. This ensures that everyone will be able to fully participate in your big day. We bring our own pat-tested sound and light equipment and also have PLI.

Hello and Congratulations! I am delighted to present the Bass Rock Ceilidh Band.

We are proud of our many glowing reviews - they all loved our unique 'rock-ceilidh' sound as well as the fun atmosphere we created at their weddings. We look forward to hearing from you to discuss how we can make your big day joyous too. Speak soon! Simon, BRCB

We had the best time on our big day!

We had so much fun at our wedding and everyone was trying the ceilidh for the first time, even people you would never expect to!!! It was so good how they mixed ceilidh with rock songs and they even played some songs as we requested. We highly recommend Bass Rock Ceilidh Band for your events and wedding!

The Best Night

Bass Rock Ceilidh Band played at our wedding in March and they were phenomenal. I loved the mix of traditional ceilidh dancing with little riffs and beats of rock songs added in. All of our guests have since said how fun and unique the ceilidh was. We are both quite alternative in our music tastes and the DJ section of the night was perfect. I was so happy to see so many guests dancing. Thank you so much for bringing the best music and entertainment to the night.

Dancing a Ceilidh with all your loved ones is the best!

We hired a 2 part band and they were amazing. Great players and fantastic at calling the dances too - to a room full of Aussies who had never done them before. Was an amazing experience, 10/10! Didn't have time to talk to everyone on the day, but we got to dance with most people which was unforgettable.

We booked these guys for our wedding night ceilidh and we had an absolutely amazing night!!! It was the best! We had a lot of international people who have never been to a ceilidh before and these guys were absolutely fab at explaining and helping everyone out. It was the best ending to the wedding and I can't thank you guys enough for everything. I highly recommend these guys!!! Bronwyn 23rd May 2025 Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh

Best Ceilidh band

We booked Bass Rock Ceilidh Band for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier! From the start, the communication with Simon was great! Half of our wedding guests were German and completely new to Ceilidh and the band was really patient with teaching them the different dances, everyone had so much fun and in the end our German friends were completely in love with Ceilidh. And everyone loved the short bits of Rock songs in between as well. Afterwards there was a DJ set with a playlist we put together, which was a lot of fun as well :) All in all, a huge thanks to Bass Rock Ceilidh Band for an unforgettable night!
