Photo of The House Devils The House Devils "Professional, prompt, entertaining, absolutely made my party. Can't recommend them highly enough if you want to make your event a success." Based in Manchester, England (80 miles from Hull) Miss Linda Bilsborrow - Private Party Photo of Hoedown Band Hoedown Band "We hired the Hoedown Band for our Xmas party and they were fantastic. They were very professional, neatly presented and they sounded great on the night. We were a small crowd but their lead singer [caller] Dawn was very interactive and educational with her dance moves. The band knew their instruments and songs very well and I would certainly recommend them." Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England (99 miles from Hull) - Lindsay (Bawrunga Medical Service) - Xmas Party Photo of Craigievar Ceilidh Band Craigievar Ceilidh Band "Thank you for another fantastic party last night. You were all brilliant and really embraced the spirit of the event which really puts the icing on the proverbial cake. Please can we book you for 2024?!" Based in Reading, England (160 miles from Hull) Rachael Thomson - Burns Night Reeling Party Photo of Oscar Tabor - Socially distanced concerts Oscar Tabor - Socially distanced concerts "I asked Oscar and his brother Barney to record a cover of my mums favourite song for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! It was a beautiful and very personal gift at a time when I couldn't be with her in person. Thank you both!" Based in Bristol, England (184 miles from Hull) Anna Giles - 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!" Based in Edinburgh, Scotland (190 miles from Hull) Barbara - Wedding Photo of Bob Ferguson Songwriter Bob Ferguson Songwriter "We all had an amazing night, all the sailors loved your performance and it really made a massive difference to the night, it really brightened up the spirits of everyone and made it a night to remember, extremely worth it and a very fair price. Keep in touch bob." Based in Lanark, Scotland (192 miles from Hull) 21st October 2026 Daniel Kokocinski - HMS Glasgow Pickle Night

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for ceilidh bands ranges from £180 to £1,100+, with an average of £600. Rates depend on the number of musicians, performance length and whether the band provides a caller to guide dancers through the steps. Most ceilidh bands include a caller as standard, but it is worth confirming when comparing options.

A ceilidh is a traditional social gathering featuring folk music and group dancing. The ceilidh bands for hire provide lively folk music and typically include a caller who guides guests through each dance. No prior dance experience is needed, as the caller explains every step before the music begins.

Events that commonly feature ceilidh bands include weddings, Burns Night celebrations, birthday parties, corporate team-building events and festivals. Ceilidh dancing is inclusive and energetic, making it an excellent way to get all guests involved regardless of age or dancing ability.

Most ceilidh bands need a clear dance floor area large enough for guests to form lines, circles and sets. A space of around 10 by 10 metres works well for most group sizes. The band itself needs a small stage or performance area at one end. It is worth discussing space requirements based on your expected guest numbers.
