The Band's Line Up, The Band Members, Catalogue

Interested in Scottish and Irish traditional music, like the sound of the fiddle, want to hear music you can dance to? Then The Kinlochard Ceilidh Band is just what you want to hear.
Taking its name from the village of Kinlochard at the head of Loch Ard in the Trossachs, The Kinlochard Ceilidh Band has established itself as one of the most popular ceilidh bands on the party, wedding and corporate hospitality circuit.

The Kinlochard Ceilidh Band has undertaken many overseas tours in North America, Australia, Europe, India, the Far Eat and Africa including a six-week tour of Singapore and New Zealand, and, at the latter, represented the U.K. at the Auckland International Folk Festival. In 2000, the band played at Disneyworld, Orlando, Florida as part of the Millennium celebrations, as well as in Chicago, Kansas City and St Louis. More recently the band has done work in Brussels for the Scottish Executive and the European Union. The band's reputation as a leading exponent of a more contemporary, up-tempo style of Scottish Country Dance music has become well-established on the international scene.

As a dance band, the Kinlochard Ceilidh Band specialises in Scottish Country Dance and Ceilidh music. Our repertoire also includes foxtrots, quicksteps, modern waltzes and Latin American rhythms - versatility is our byword! The band can call all the set dances, as required, so nobody need feel left out. At corporate hospitality functions - many of which are for overseas guests - dances can also be called in French or German.
