What is a ceilidh?
A ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) is a lively Scottish social dance with live music and a caller who guides you through each dance.
Think group dancing, lots of laughter, and a dance floor full of people joining together, not standing on the sidelines.
We teach everything as we go, so your guests don’t need any experience to take part.

Why choose A Wee Dram for your next event?
Here's what some of our past clients have said after having a ceilidh with A Wee Dram
‘As a regular ceilidh goer it was lovely to have A Wee Dram Ceilidh Band perform at our Christmas breakup. Heather did a wonderful job explaining, demonstrating and calling each of the ceilidh dances, encouraging everyone to get up and join in! She keeps to tradition yet allows enough space for people to make it work for them. Everyone had a fabulous time!’
— Alison, Birthday Celebration‘Heather was amazing and made the night very memorable making everyone feel welcome and excited.
She demonstrated and explained the dances in a way that was fun and inclusive and taught everyone how to do them, but more importantly to enjoy the spirit of the dance.’
— Brunswick Scottish Society Social‘Heather was brilliant at organising the music for the dances, both traditional and modern at my birthday ceilidh.
She explains the dances in a way that gets everyone involved and having fun.
It was great to look around and see everyone dancing with big smiles on their faces.’
