The Scott Leslie Ceilidh Band are an exciting group of musicians full of energy, professionalism, experience and great music. They consist of Accordion/midi bass/caller, Fiddle & Drums and play a fantastic mix traditional tunes.
Calling dances is an important aspect of all ceilidhs and dance instructions are clear and easy to understand although we are happy to down ‘tools’ and help demonstrate dances when required. With the emphasis on fun, the band believe they can have everybody up dancing & enjoying the music.
The line-up has been together for over 10 years building a reputation for playing great music at ceilidhs all over Scotland and beyond. The band have performed everywhere from Edinburgh Castle in the Capital to Mount Stuart House on the west coast and from Southern England all the way north to the Shetland Isles.
The band can also provide a DJ set with appropriate lighting to suit all venues.

I have never had so much fun, I loved it. Scott's band was fantastic! I have never been at anything that brought people from all over the world together in this way. It didn't matter about the language, the band made it so much fun.

- Anne Begbie

Scott's ceilidh is a fantastic experience! The music is great and the calling is clear, fun & witty. We really appreciated the short breaks between dances giving people time to catch their breath and re-group. I would certainly recommend the band to anyone. Thank for a great evening!

- Will (Groom)

Just a short note to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding at Portavadie. The ceilidh added a unique and really fun element to the party and really helped get everybody up and into the spirit of things especially for those south of the border.
