We hosted a Ceilidh for our society last week, and were lucky enough to have 7 hills as our band! Such incredible music... and the best atmosphere we have had at a society ceilidh to date - 10/10 would recommend!read more

We hired the 7 Hills Ceilidh Band for our wedding, and their 3 piece
were excellent. We had a wide range of... abilities, from those who had
barely danced before to seasoned Scottish Country dancers, and everyone
had a fantastic time. They did an excellent job of calling, but it was
the music that made the evening - they were the best we have heard in a
very long time. A fantastic way to celebrate our wedding. We would highly recommend them. And great to have a friendly face on the stage too! Big thanks to Paul and the band who not only did a great job on the night but made the booking easy and were very helpful with a few requests for unusual dances.

7 Hills Ceilidh Band played for our wedding ceilidh and they were PHENOMENAL.

Communication up to the wedding... was prompt and helpful. Booking & paying was really easy.

Our guests have been raving about the band for weeks after, and they were so grateful for the demonstrations of dances given so that all could join in (as we had quite a few guests from America).

The band on the night were so accommodating that when one of our American guests asked if they could round off with some country music so they could teach other guests the two step - the band just said no problem and obliged! It shows real skill in a musician to be able to take requests like that.

Thank you again - we'll be sending your contact details to all of our friends!

Emma & Mike

7 Hills Ceilidh band recently played at our wedding ceilidh in Edinburgh and did a fantastic job of including all of... our guests, some of who had never been at a ceilidh before. They are incredibly attentive and understand when the room needs a rest or when to keep the dance going! We originally experienced the band play at a friend's wedding a few years ago and I'm so glad to know that they're still just as good now. We would recommend them to anyone!read more

We hired 7 Hills Ceilidh Band for my brother's wedding in September. Sigurd and the band were really accommodating,... friendly and professional. The music was fantastic: we had many guests that were not familiar with ceilidh dancing, but all of them were guided through the dances step by step by the MC and expressed how memorable and unique an experience it was. We will no doubt be asking 7 Hills to play again at our next event - thank you so much! 😊read more

We had hired 7 Hills Ceilidh Band for our wedding in a few weeks time, however due to current and impending... restrictions we are not able to have dancing at our venue. This is a great disappointment to us as we were so looking forward to it. Sigurd was very understanding when I broke the news to him and he was very flexible whenever I dealt with him, he was very prompt with his responses and he very kindly refunded our deposit. We are looking to have a 1 year wedding anniversary party next year and we truly hope we are able to have a ceilidh then and if we do go ahead with this then I will most definitely be booking 7 Hills Ceilidh Band. They have been a pleasure to work with.read more

We hired the 7 Hills Ceilidh Band to lead a ceilidh for our wedding this summer. Unfortunately, because of the current... situation, we were uncertain what restrictions would be and in the end decided to not have a ceilidh. Sigurd at the band was very helpful, flexible, and understanding/friendly in navigating the restrictions and even refunded our deposit, which made making difficult decisions a lot less stressful. If we are organising another ceilidh in the future, we will definitely give the 7 Hills Ceilidh Band a call!read more

7 Hills Ceildh Band played at 11th ENE Scouts Centenary Ceilidh and were absolutely superb. Fabulous sound from their 3... piece led by Duncan who also did an excellent job calling the dances and running through the steps so all could join in. Highly recommend them and will definitely be booking in the future. Huge thanks from all our guests for a memorable evening.read more

The 7 Hills Ceilidh Band played at our Health in Mind charity fundraiser ball and were utterly brilliant. They were... great value, really easy and flexible to work with, and a LOT of fun. All the guests were commenting on how good the band were: the dances were well-called and the evening was perfectly paced because the band knew just how to read the room to time the dances and wee breaks in between just right. They were a lot of fun and came across really well, and the playing was amazing! Can't recommend these guys enough.read more

We hired this amazing band for our sons 21st – they were very professional, they were courteous and prompt. The band... arrived at the hall when they said they would, set up efficiently and quickly even providing their own sound system. They played professionally and called the dances with enthusiasm and accuracy. Music was great fun, they put some interesting twists on old favourites without interfering with the basic tune and rhythm ,they appeared to alter the tempo and calling to suit our needs.This meant we could dance to familiar tunes and enjoy a little variation at the same time.
Band finished on time and cleared up promptly which was important as we had to be out of the hall on time.
I would recommend The 7 hills band as they provide great service plus superb music, and they are not expensive. In fact, I think we had a bargain get such talent and organisational skills at the price we did – thank you 7 Hills

Seven Hills Ceilidh band played for our wedding ceilidh in June, and they were so fab! All the dances were called,... which meant anyone who wasn't quite sure what they were doing could do a walk through, the music was great, and all set up and communication prior to the wedding was really straightforward. The band were really great on the night, and were happy to work to our timings for wanting a mix of playlist and ceilidh - thanks again!read more

More Edinburgh ceilidh band reviews on this page from our wonderful clients!

Siobhan Rodgers – September 2022

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The guys did an absolutely amazing job playing at our wedding a couple of weeks ago. They did such a good job at getting everyone up on the dance floor and the instructions for each dance were perfect! There were a lot of people who had never been to a ceilidh before but everyone we’ve spoken with absolutely loved it ☺️. It was such a highlight of the day! Thanks so much again”

Alex P – March 2022

“I cannot rate 7 Hills Ceilidh Band highly enough! They were super efficient with their set up before and after the gig, and equally patient in their calling for the dances. Above all their playing was flawless, fun and lively, and it was the making of our wedding reception. The venue manager even ended up taking their card so they can recommend them to future clients, which is surely a good sign! Finally, their communication was friendly and prompt throughout our own slightly chaotic planning process, which made everything that bit less stressful. Thank so much, guys!

Pascaline Mollard – February 2022

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to 7 Hills who played at my birthday party on Saturday at Summerhall.

They were absolutely brilliant and so many people commented on how good they were. They read the room really well which allowed for a well paced evening. They were very professionals and discreet.

Everyone had loads of fun.

Added to my list of people to be recommended!”

Graham Turnball – Watsonians – Jan 2018

“On behalf of Watsonian FC I would like to thank the 7 Hills Ceilidh Band for making our Burns Supper a roaring success. The communication and organisation was simple the music was excellent and their patience in calling dances to a less than coordinated crowd was brilliant! We don’t leave many Edinburgh ceilidh band reviews but just had to for these guys!”]

Laura Dudley-Smith – Sexpression – October 2017

We will be booking them again for next year and would highly recommend them to any and all.”

Pheobe Hendy – EUCC Vixens – September 2017

“We hired the 7 Hills Ceilidh Band for a fundraising ceilidh we held, they were very easy to work with and had no problem adapting to the PA system we had. Great friendly people and very talented musicians, helped us all out by explaining the dances. Thank you! “

Stuart Pittman – President of Edinburgh Uni Badminton Society – March 2017

7 Hills Ceilidh Band put on a phenomenal night of music for us in Edinburgh. The band’s energy and superb caller ensured that everyone, even those who had never ceilidh danced before, never wanted to leave the dance floor! We can’t recommend Siggy and the guys enough, and we definitely hope to have a night with them again soon! “

Ciara Catherine – October 2017

“On behalf of Sexpression Edinburgh, thank you so much for coming to play for our conference in Edinburgh University last night – the event was a success and the charity discount was a lovely gesture. You were so patient with us in teaching us the dances and so co-operative in arranging everything. Would definitely recommend these guys, and will be happy to book them again in future! πŸ™‚ “

Isla Simmons – GeoSciences GradSchool Ceilidh. – October 2017

“Had a great Ceilidh experience on Saturday night with these guys! Very good fun and excellent dance walk throughs.”
