Transparent travel costs. Prices shown cover ceilidhs in the East Midlands — NG, LE and DE postcodes.

Further afield, travel is charged at £20 per hour, per band member, plus 55p per mile for the full return journey from Nottingham. Overnight accommodation may occasionally be needed too.

As a worst-case example, taking my Live Band package to Newcastle could add around £900 in travel. That’s 6 ½ hours of travel and a distance of 350 miles.

But here’s the good bit: I work with some cracking bands around the UK, so if a more local band is available, those travel costs will usually be less than half that. £900 is the absolute maximum — never a nasty surprise on top.

All fees include VAT.

Whether you're celebrating getting married, hosting a party or organising a Burns Supper (and everything in between) — what better way to celebrate than with a proper Scottish-style ceilidh?

All these packages have at least two touch points — usually 3 months and 6 weeks before the date — to support your planning.

With my packages, I'm with you every step of the way — from practical recommendations for your running order to inclusivity, drawing on my experience of over 550 events.

Fancy something more? A bagpiper for your reception arrival, a warm-up ceilidh icebreaker the night before, or a beautifully framed dance list — a real talking point when guests visit you in future years.

Kind Words

"We cannot recommend Schuggies-Ceilidhs enough for our wedding entertainment! Having a reception with a mixture of experienced and newbie dancers, it was really important we had dancing that everyone could get stuck in with — Schuggies-Ceilidhs delivered just that! Schuggie got everyone involved, complete with silly hats and lots of laughs. All throughout the planning Schuggie was available to check in and give his opinion on how best to deliver what we wanted — an awesome night of dancing for us and our guests. Strip the Willow is also a must to end your ceilidh on the night!" — A recent couple · verified Google review
