Yep, it’s upon us again, the great argument about where the Freak Music christmas dinner should be, also the last minute clients who are only getting round to organising band for Christmas parties and New Year’s eve (you know who you are). Here’s some quality options who still have a few dates available this year.
If you require an ultra-high energy act for the festive period in the Scottish central belt, then look now further than these guys, The Honey Moons (above) pride themselves on their high-energy performances that get partygoers up on the dance floor and keep them there all night. The standard of musicianship within this band really is second to none and your guests will pick up on that. With their colossal musical repertoire from the 1950s through to modern day floor fillers this band caters for every taste and do it in style. The Honey Moons are the perfect Christmas or NY party band.
A popular option for this time of year, (not so much in July) are The Crazy Christmas band, (below) these guys are a young, fun and cheeky Christmas tribute, performing all the seasonal hits like ‘All I Want For Christmas is You’ and ‘I Wish it Could Be Xmas Every day, and Shaky’s Merry Christmas Everyone, written by Edinburgh’s very own Bobbie Heatlie. Absolutely guaranteed to inspire some very silly dance moves from your guests on the dance floor, the band provide a fully costumed show featuring Mrs Xmas, a naughty Christmas Elf and two of Santa’s little helpers 🙂 The band will be performing this Sunday at this event the Ideal Homes Christmas event.
For a slightly more laid back yet still upbeat and danceable option, I give you the mighty Riviera. These guys are a stylish and charismatic group of extraordinary musicians. Their busking style combines the sublime talents of all 5 musicians to create a vibrant live act, putting a contemporary twist on the classic 1930’s gypsy jazz sound. Whether entertaining clients in a busy city bar or creating a beautiful mellow ambience for an early evening event, The Riviera never fail to capture an audience. The band are based in Manchester but travel both nationally and internationally to entertain clients looking for something special for Christmas or New Year, get in touch for a quote.
For a good old, stonkingly old school set of oldies and newies played with aplomb and verve, check out the World’s Rockiest Ceilidh Band(c). The Big Shoogle have over 17 years’ experience playing for weddings and countless events in some of the most prestigious venues at home and overseas. If you want the very best ceilidh with top class professional musicians and a highly experienced dance caller then look no further. If you want a wild party with a Scottish flavour anywhere in the world, contact us. And if you can’t handle a full-on Big Shoogle ceilidh for a whole evening there are the covers of great pop & rock songs, all played live. No backing tracks. It’s like two bands rolled into one. Audiences are amazed that the range of music and sounds all comes from the same three band members. They have a unique approach to ceilidh music blending cajun and rock influences while still remaining solidly rooted in the Scottish tradition. It’s all about the laughsand everyone having a fantastic time.
