Ceilidh is an important Scottish tradition that is characterised by dancing to an informal music. As a fundamental part of Scotland's social gathering, popular Scottish wedding band Northern Star shines the spotlight to this fun tradition by embracing Ceilidh and including it in their set whenever they play in different functions.Northern Star _http://www.northernstarmusic.co.uk/_ has been playing in weddings and other important functions in Scotland for the past 12 years. Their experience as well as their varied musical offerings are what made them one of the most sought after wedding bands throughout Scotland. Although, the band embraces more modern music styles, they are well acknowledged for their musical flexibility, which is apparent in the way they fuse classic hits, slow dances, pop and cheesy treats as well as festival anthems and contemporary tunes - all of which they energetically play on stage and in every event they are invited in.
However, what truly sets Northern Star apart from other wedding bands is that they have deep appreciation for the Scottish tradition of Ceilidh. Hence, staying true to their roots and to show their dedication to make this tradition flourish even further, the band has included a ceilidh set in their performances.
As one of the band's representatives noted "We know that Scottish people are in touch with traditions and we take this pretty seriously that is why we have decided to include ceilidh as a part of our set, especially when we perform at weddings. In fact, in every gig that we are invited to showcase our music, we always have our very own ceilidh player in tow (either a fiddle or box) and we also bring along a dedicated ceilidh caller."
"Ceilidh is an important part of Scottish tradition and we like to make sure that it will live on for the years to come. So, we're doing our part to make this tradition flourish and the best way we know how is to make music that will accompany the dance and will make people want to get up from their seats and just have fun" he added.
Northern Star usually do around 40 minutes of ceilidh, though they can accommodate a more extensive set depending on the demand or request of guests.
