Reviews of Ceilidh Bands available in Baltimore

5/5 from 64 reviews
Photo of Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell "Robert Mitchell was very sensitive to our wish for a softer sound in the church and used the border pipes. He was extremely professional, worked well with the organist and pianist, and provided a lovely Irish touch to my daughter's wedding. Afterwards, he played the bagpipes outside while everyone gathered to greet the new couple with bubbles as they hopped into their limo. In addition, he provided a transition to the reception by playing the bagpipes outside the entrance. We are thankful to Robert and heard many positive comments about him from our guests." Based in Columbia, Maryland (13 miles from Baltimore) John G. Photo of The Devil's Tailors The Devil's Tailors "The Devil's Tailors were fantastic. They were easy to work with and helped make our wedding event one to remember. They traveled all the way to Arizona from the east coast. I was grateful for their effort and desire to do it at a reasonable price. Everyone loved the bagpipes and the dancing with the fiddle and the piano. They called out the dances while everyone participated and everyone learned how to do them easily. Everyone was anticipating the next number when they could do it again. I definitely recommend using The Devil's Tailors for your next event. If you are thinking about having Scottish dancing at your event, but don't know if it would be fun, I will tell you to book them right now. It is an amazing time. And if you have had Scottish dancing before, The Devil's Tailors will do a wonderful job." Based in Alexandria, Virginia (41 miles from Baltimore) Jamie Williams - Wedding Photo of Catherine Little Cello Catherine Little Cello "My daughter and I attended your concert. It would be an hounour to have you visit our town (for your next concert). Thanks for giving my daughter and myself a wonderful memory."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for ceilidh bands ranges from $220 to $1,400+, with an average of $800. 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.
