Recent additions to the Scottish wedding band roster.

Champagne
Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends.

We have seen a real resurgence in registrations north of the border which is gratifying and the Scottish live wedding bands section continues to grow at a rate of (tie the) knots..

Champagne (above) contain the cream of Scottish musical talent and will add a little cool and seriously sophisticated background music to your special event. Perfect for weddings or corporate drinks receptions or any other event you require background jazz. Have a loook and listen to the video up to the right and get in touch with Freak Music if you have any further questions. Led by Hamish McGregor, best known best for his ‘white clarinet’ and leader of Edinburgh’s famous Fat Sams Band, Hamish has been a mover and shaker in the Scottish music scene for over 45 years. He has over this time lead bands ranging in style for Motown & Soul / Dixieland and Trad. / Pop, JumpJive & Swing. In his career to date, Hamish has toured with various bands in most countries in the world – U.S.A. & Canada, Europe and the Middle East. Champagne is his latest ensemble and he is very confident that clients will delight in the quality of presentation and professionalism which has been his hall mark over the years.

Based in the Scottish Borders, the Borders Ceilidh Band provides traditional ceilidh music to clients throughout the UK and abroad. Specialising in weddings, and with over 18 years experience in the music industry they regularly play for ceilidhs, private parties and corporate events. Borders Ceilidh Band can range in size from 2 musicians upwards. The typical line up of accordion, fiddle and drums is generally preferred while an experienced dance caller will be on hand to ensure your event runs smoothly and a disco option is also available. Whether organising a party, planning a wedding or having a dance in the local hall, Borders Ceilidh Band can provide top class musicians at competitive rates.

Magnitude was formed in 2012 when the members of two hardworking duos decided to combine their talents to create an exciting new group. They met when they were playing in two separate functions at the Corinthian in Glasgow. They loved how each other sounded, and after one rehearsal together knew they were onto something special. This four piece band features a power trio rhythm section of guitar, bass and drums from Calvin, Stuart and Jamie with fantastic female lead vocals from Jane and strong male backing vocals from Jamie. This 100% live band always delivers a fun filled evening of high energy dance floor fillers. Their set list contains current pop and rock hits from artists like Bruno Mars, The Killers and Rihanna, along with a mix of classics from every decade stretching back to the 1950’s.

The Rococo Quartet (bel0w) is the ideal combination to transform your occasion into an elegant and sophisticated event. The quartet performs to your specifications at any function from wedding to corporate event. Based in Aberdeen, the quartet plays in and around Aberdeenshire, Angus and Moray and is comprised of classically trained, qualified musicians renowned for their quality and professionalism.
