How much is a ceilidh band for hire in Glasgow?

On Poptop, a ceilidh band will cost you anything from £750 to $1,100. However, because it depends on your desired band, this is not a set pricing. The number of band members and travel expenses are some of the elements that affect the cost. When you search through the list of ceilidh bands in Glasgow available for instant booking on Poptop, you can submit the specifics of your event, including the event date and location, to receive an immediate quotation.

What is the band lineup?

The ceilidh band for hire consists of a fiddler, an accordionist, and a "caller" who assists everyone in getting into the groove and learning the dances. The size of the band varies. You can expect at least 2 to 8 members in a band, with each member having their unique roles. However, in addition to other instruments, line-ups may feature guitars, drums, keyboards, and whistles. They specialize in upbeat and spirited Scottish ceilidh, American songs, traditional Irish music, and contemporary English songs.

Can a ceilidh band in Glasgow provide PLI & PAT certificates?

To ensure their safety, the majority of ceilidh bands in Glasgow are required to submit PLI & PAT certificates before playing an event. Safety is a top priority for our suppliers, who make sure that all equipment is well-maintained and tested before usage. If necessary, ceilidh bands will present a PAT test certificate. While it is understandable to be worried about your guests' wellbeing and the success of your event, you need to let the ceilidh band know that they must present a PLI certificate before the event. During the booking procedure, you can get confirmation from the provider.
