Brilliant ceilidh band
Cragganmore are a friendly group who put on a fantastic ceilidh for our wedding reception. We had a lot of international guests who had never been to a ceilidh before and the caller did a great job explaining the steps. Everyone was up on their feet by the end!

A fantastic ceilidh band.
Cragganmore Ceilidh Band played for our wedding and put on a brilliant night's entertainment for ourselves and the guests. We had quite a few non Scottish relatives there and Ian who was calling got all but a few involved and on the dance floor, great crowd engagement.
It ended the night beautifully and everyone left in great spirits.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
