Cragganmore did not fail to disappoint! They played for a University of St Andrews’ Charity Ball and ensured we all danced into the night! The dances were called clearly, the music was very lively, and everyone had an amazing time!
The band played at my wedding. An absolute pleasure to deal with and even better music! They had everyone up dancing and the caller did an amazing job! I’d highly recommend them!
We had the pleasure of being at a birthday ceilidh where the band was playing. The music was terrific for dancing, and the volume was such that those not on the floor were able to chat. Interaction with guests was excellent; great fun was had by all!
Cragganmore played for my Daughter’s wedding at Balbirnie House. They couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating before and during the event. The dance floor was packed, and everyone had a fantastic night. The perfect band for the perfect Scottish wedding.
Thoroughly enjoyed this band at my daughter’s wedding! I would definitely recommend them, thank you!

A lively and professional ceilidh band, Cragganmore played at our wedding. A great mixture of tunes and clear calling for some of our less confident guests made for some brilliant dancing, followed by a fun DJ set with lights from Cameron. A huge thanks for a great night!
An absolutely brilliant group – they brought so much fun to our wedding reception and I would definitely recommend them!
Cragganmore played at our wedding and did a fantastic job despite very few guests having ceilidh’d before! Working with them was a pleasure and they were very flexible and professional. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, thank you!
Fabulous band…so professional. They really made my daughter’s reception great…as everyone wanted to get up and dance!
I have been at two wedding receptions where the Cragganmore Ceilidh Band played and both were fantastic. The dance floor was full throughout. They are superb musicians who explain each dance clearly and really make the event fun. Would highly recommend!
Cragganmore 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 everyone involved. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Cragganmore were hired to help us celebrate our one-year anniversary. The band were brilliant from start to finish. We had a lot of friends who had never been to a ceilidh and they are still raving about how great the night was! If you are looking for a great band, book Cragganmore.
We booked Cragganmore for our wedding and we’re so glad we did. They are great to deal with when planning the event as they tailor the night to suit your needs and are super approachable. They also offer a great DJ option. Highly recommend!
These guys are top-notch! If you want to have an authentic Scottish musical experience and overall a good time, call Cragganmore. They were excellent to work with and were so warm and genuine.
We were delighted to have Cragganmore help us celebrate our golden wedding anniversary at the Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh. A 3-piece band was perfect for a company of 50. I would highly recommend them for any occasion.
Cragganmore played for our wedding reception and they were fantastic! Cameron was always so friendly and prompt with communications and nothing was ever a problem. On the night, they kept everyone on the dance floor and set a wonderful atmosphere.
