Fees

Contact us for our latest range of fees.

For private gigs we may call upon a pool of experienced musicians of comparable quality if some of the band are not available.

These prices are based on a reasonable travelling distance and an 23.00 finish

Cash on the night is the preferred form of payment.

What do we get for the fee?

The fee includes a full sound system and travel expenses.

We will be available to you for three hours. This usually comprises a 1 set hour followed by a half hour break and then an hour and half set. If you require us to be with you for longer than this then there is an additional charge of £100 per hour.

We have Public Liability Insurance and our equipment has PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) certification

What kind of music do you play?

We play a wide variety of tunes for dancing, both original and taken from traditional sources. We also have a repertoire of tunes to play between dances.

Please note that we are not a traditional Scottish or Irish band, and we don't sing the Wild Rover!

You can hear some of our music on the MUSIC pages

A lot of our guests haven't done this before. Will you be able to help them OK?

Our callers are used to playing for both experienced dancers and those who have never done it before. They have a selection of easy dances and everyone is guided through what to do.

How long does it take you to set up?

We like to get into the venue around 1 hour before we have to start to set up the sound system, but it only takes about 15 minutes to set up. It takes about 20 minutes to break down the equipment afterwards.

Can we play music during your break ?

We bring a CD player to play incidental music through our PA when we take a break. You can bring your own CD or we have some (usually a nice bit of big band jazz). We can also plug your iPOD into the PA.
