Our Services

Ceilidhs

Our 4-piece lineup delivers an upbeat, modern sound guaranteed to fill the dance floor all night long. Each member of the band is an expert in their field bringing a wealth of professional experience to the stage. This genre is our specialism so you can absolutely rest assured that you are in safe hands for an unforgettable ceilidh.

Our caller is on hand at all times to run the show and make sure that everyone knows the dances and joins in on the fun. Throughout the night we like to cram in as many dances as possible, with a variety of old and new, fast and slightly less fast, and of course ending with the ever popular Orcadian Strip the Willow.

Disco DJ

Many of our clients opt to break up the evening’s ceilidh with a playlist of disco tunes to keep the dancing varied and celebrate their favourite tracks. We find that this works really well and are happy to provide this service whether you have a specially selected list of favourites, some advance suggestions from your guests or just a few genre pointers for us.

We come equipped with a seriously capable PA and lighting system, so whatever vibe you have in mind, we’ve got you covered!

Bagpiper

Our bagpiper is available to hire for any duties throughout your special event. Most often called on for weddings, we can provide this service for your guests arriving, piping down the aisle, playing after your ceremony and piping into the top table.

If you have anything else in mind or would like to make a general enquiry about booking our bagpiper please get in touch and we'd be happy to discuss this with you.

Instrumental Background Music

We have provided music for many wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners, always working closely with clients to find the perfect set-up for their needs. We are used to coordinating with wedding and events planners in order to ensure that everything is meticulously planned well in advance of your big day.

We most commonly provide a 2-piece combination of fiddle and guitar for such occasions but can also offer a solo piano player.

Vocal
Background Music

Nightjar Ceilidh Band’s partner vocalist has over 15 years professional performance experience and is available to hire for your event. Along with live piano accompaniment, she can provide singing in a range of styles for anything from background music, wedding ceremonies, Burns suppers and more.

We know that your event is a one of a kind and we're here to help make it happen. We can be entirely flexible to work with your requirements so don't hesitate to get in touch if you have something specific in mind.
