The Big Moose Ceilidh Band

Four-piece Scottish style ceilidh band. Sings/guitarist, drummer and fiddler along with our own caller. We play traditional songs that people dance to with the help of our caller. The caller will teach each dance so when the band strikes up you'll be ready and raring to go.​

Between the four of us, we can adjust our line up and set a list for any occasion and to suit most budgets. A bespoke entertainment package for your parting needs.
