Photo of Harbour City Harbour City "CAMIC had the great pleasure of having Harbour City perform at our annual conference. Not only was the band fantastic, but they played a variety of tunes, from ones themed to the East Coast to familiar tunes from the past. Our guests happily danced until the last set was played" Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia 29th January 2026 Sangita KamblĂ© - Canadian Association of Mutual Insurance Companies - Annual National Conference Photo of Catherine Little Cello Catherine Little Cello "My daughter and I attended your concert.

Bob ‘reads’ the audience and keeps the mood, tempo and volume on point. He provided a wonderful afternoon of music and humour for mum’s 100th!" Based in Lanark, Scotland, United Kingdom (2,663 miles from Halifax) 16th May 2026 Julia Edgar - Birthday party Photo of Annasach Ceilidh Band Annasach Ceilidh Band "The Annasach Ceilidh Band made the evening of our wedding in The Netherlands unforgettable, motivating Dutch and French feet alike to dance the Scottish steps. Even my 62-year-old aunt was on her feet all evening and remarked at the end that from now on, she only wants Scottish weddings. The band also dealt very professionally with some unforeseen circumstances, rebooking their own flights when their original flights were cancelled, taking a lot of stress away from us. I will happily recommend them for any wedding or party in Scotland or abroad, and look forward to visiting one of their Ceilidhs in Edinburgh when we next find ourselves there!"
