Kind Words

Are Ye Dancin are a brilliant ceilidh band — really got our party started! We laughed and danced so much. Highly recommend Garry & band.

— Katie

Outstanding music at our wedding at Orocco Pier — your ceilidh tunes were top notch, and the DJ was excellent. Very, very highly recommend.

— Sally & Iain

The ceilidh music was superb — I had blisters on my feet the next day! We absolutely loved the disco too. I fully recommend.

— Sarah

We thought we had booked an average ceilidh band — you are utterly brilliant. The DJ set had everyone dancing all night. 10/10.

Good to Know

Your questions, answered.

Will first-timers manage the dances?

Absolutely. Garry calls every dance clearly and warmly, so even complete beginners are up and dancing within minutes. No experience needed.

Do you provide a DJ as well as the band?

Yes — every package includes a full DJ service alongside the live ceilidh, so there’s music from the first guest to the last. No need to book a DJ separately.

Can you do our first dance and take requests?

Yes to both. We’ll happily learn your first dance, and we welcome a request list for the DJ sets — we read the room all night long.

How far do you travel?

All across Scotland and into northern England. Travel is free within 100 miles of Perth. Further afield, we add a fair contribution for the band’s mileage, travel time and any overnight stay — always clearly quoted up front, with no surprises.

Do you offer a midweek rate?

Yes — midweek weddings and parties (Monday to Thursday) enjoy a reduced rate on the band package. Tell us your date when you check availability and we’ll factor it into your quote.

Are peak dates like Hogmanay priced differently?

High-demand dates — Hogmanay, the festive season, Burns Night and bank-holiday weekends — book up early and are priced accordingly. Check your date as soon as you can to secure it.

What space and power do you need?

Roughly a 3m × 3m area for the band plus a couple of standard sockets. We’ll talk through your venue’s setup when you book.

How do we secure our date?

Pick your date and we’ll confirm availability within hours. A £250 deposit then holds it exclusively for you — and it comes off your final total.

Is your equipment safety-tested?

Yes — all of our equipment is PAT-tested every year, and we can provide the paperwork for your venue on request.

What clients say

We hired you for our wedding in Windermere in December, and your professionalism was just superb — with the nasty weather, I'm certain a lot of bands would have cancelled. The music was outstanding from the get-go; myself, my husband, friends and family absolutely loved it, and thank you for taking so many requests during the disco set. If anyone's looking to hire a ceilidh and disco for their wedding, these guys are fantastic — brilliant value and worth every penny. Highly, highly recommended!
— Heather & Angelo, Windermere wedding
Thank you so so much for an absolutely amazing night! Everyone had a ball and are STILL talking about it three months on. To anyone reading this — I highly recommend Are Ye Dancin', they were 5-star from start to finish. Thank you again, Garry.
— Nadia & Ben
What an absolute legend you are! I'm so glad I decided on a ceilidh for my birthday — you definitely didn't disappoint, we were all knackered. I can't believe you're not famous the way you play; I've never seen anyone play an accordion like that in my life. Incredible to watch and to dance to. Thanks for a cracking night — I'll recommend you to anyone.
— Derek, birthday ceilidh
That was the best ceilidh experience I have ever had. My wife didn't want a ceilidh to start with, but I managed to persuade her — and she could not get enough; in fact she wants to get married again next week just to book you! You were a real help in the run-up too: our pianist cancelled two days before, and Garry filled in at the last minute. Your ceilidh and disco were both astounding. Thank you so much!
— Iain & Cathy, Melville Castle
That was the third time I've booked you this year — I think I should be inviting you for Christmas dinner! You played my daughter's 21st at the British Legion in Kelso, then my husband's 70th, then my son's wedding at Mansfield House in Hawick. Every single event was an absolute cracker, and I'll be seeing you for more. There's no band like you in the Borders, or I doubt the whole of Scotland. Highly, highly recommended!
— Margaret, the Borders
We hunted for a ceilidh band for ages, then were recommended to book these guys — sooo glad we did. An incredible night was had by all. Highly recommend; you will not be disappointed.
— Diane & Stuart
Garry, thank you so much for playing the piano as I walked down the aisle at the last minute — it was truly beautiful. Then came the reception at Barony Castle, Eddleston, and there's not much I can say apart from: wonderful, amazing, brilliant, outstanding! Booking you for our wedding was one of the best choices of my life. Just the best band ever — I'm passing your details to everyone!
— Claire & Craig, Barony Castle
