Is there a vocalist in the band?

Many ceilidh bands in Edinburgh feature a vocalist, guitarist, caller, and accordionist. While these bands perform Irish and Scottish songs, tunes, and dancing, their lineup also features male and female lead vocals to sing the songs. A ceilidh band consists of fiddle/vocals, guitar/vocals/dance caller specializing in lively and energetic Scottish ceilidh, American songs, traditional Irish music, and modern English songs. So, you should expect a vocalist to perform at your event. You can also contact the supplier for more information.

Black Velvet were excellent and really added to our Irish themed evening. Lots of very traditional music. The guys were very flexible and last minute added in a Ceili set without prior knowledge which was appreciated by all and added to the fun of the evening. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic band, played brilliantly and managed to wrangle nearly 150 people into doing the dances (we weren’t always doing it correctly- but had a go!) fantastic night and can’t thank them enough! Xx
