Entertaining at VisitScotland’s Expo 2016

Reel Time Events had the pleasure of entertaining over 700 delegates as part of VisitScotland’s Expo 2016.  Held at Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange for international buyers from the leisure industry, the event was a great success, with guests tasting some of Scotlands finest produce and being entertained by Roddy and the Reel Time Ceilidh Band for the evening.

Guests were welcomed at the venue by Roddy, playing some rousing tunes on the bagpipes as they all made their way into the venue for the awards ceremony, hosted by Des Clarke, and gala dinner.

After some fantastic food by Prestige and the VisitScotland Expo Stand Awards were announced and it was time to ceilidh!  The attendees were treated to a display performance by The Reel Time Band playing their upbeat and funky take on ceilidh music, accompanied by the stunning Reel Time Dancers.

Once the dance performance was complete it was time for the guests to get involved.  With the help of Roddy calling the dances and the dancers on the floor to lead the way, everyone had the opportunity to let their hair down and get involved with the ceilidh.

The evening was a great success, leaving the guests with a Scottish evening to remember.
