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.

The Scraggly cats playing at the Arran Folk Festival

The Reel Time Ceilidh Band – Scraggly Cats were over in Arran last weekend for the Whisky and folk festival. This tied in nicely with the Arran Distillerys 18th birthday party, and what fun was had!

The band played in the distillery grounds in the afternoon for the revellers, before heading off to the Lochranza village hall for a cherished moment in any ceilidh bands career, the Scottish island ceilidh!

The band played an afternoon set of rocking ceilidh music and pop song, which had the guests whipped up into a Whisky ceilidh frenzy: Clapping and singing along to end the afternoons festivities in style.

The evening ceilidh was a reel hit with 175 guests attending the village hall. We topped the bill, alongside singer songwriter Scott Cowie and the distillery finance manager who gave a set on his small pipes.

Thanks to all who made this such a great event for the band. Faye and Arran Events for all the logistics, the distillery manager for all the drams, all the assembled whisky ceilidh lovers and Greig and Kate for the much needed bacon rolls…last time we were on the island was for your wedding!

If you need a band to delight your Whisky festival or brand birthday party then let us know!
