Thread Name: Ceilidh Band needed (in Carlisle)
Subject: RE: Ceilidh Band needed.....................
Flying Chaucers might be interested if you pay our fares from London & accomodation. Aren't Ceilidh Minogue based in Scotland or the North? Having grabbed one of the best names around they should be good.

As Mr Crane driver says be careful you get the right type of band. If they know what they are doing dance wise you might want a scottish "reels band" but if you are looking for a Scottish Flavour dance with a caller most English based Ceilidh bands can do that.

Check it out because sometimes the Scots don't like having a caller and are reluctant to do any dances they don't know - you may need a band thats flexible enough to do a bit of both to keep everyone happy but then you need to make sure there are enough people there to allow everyone to dance.
