We are a lively Ceilidh band based on the Isle of Arran that will put a swing into any event. As well as our standard line up of two fiddles, guitar and percussion we can offer a caller and disco, and other musicians such as pipers and harpers. As our name Arranach (meaning a person from Arran in Gaelic) suggests we are a part of a long tradition of local bands playing for dances on the island, and can bring some of the spirit of a lively west coast island dance to your event.
Arran Mountain Festival Ceilidh, Lochranza
Our repertoire is mainly Scottish, including a few tunes from Arran, with some Irish tunes thrown in for good measure. We play all the well-known dances and a few less well-known ones, and our caller can talk your guests through the dances in a clear and encouraging manner.
Nothing gives us more pleasure than to see a dance floor full of people enjoying themselves. If our audience go home with sweat on their brow and a smile on their face then we are happy we have done our job well!
