Reel Time Events provided first class Scottish entertainment for new year for many revellers in the lead up to Hogmanay this year. Starting early, Roddy the Piper provided some upbeat bagpipe tunes for New Zealand party goers awaiting the bells at 11am on the 31^st December and soon after for the Australians at 1pm at the Three Sisters Pub.

Later in the day Roddy the Piper and the Reel Time Ceilidh Band went to the Dalmahoy Hotel to play for guests awaiting the New Year. In the lead up to the bells the band played a mixture of ceilidh tunes to get the crowd in high spirits. Just before the bells, a Full Pipe Band played as did Roddy the Piper to signal the arrival of a new year. After this Roddy wished everyone a happy new year and the traditional ‘Auld Lang Syne’ was performed with guests joining in. Amidst the mayhem a dancer helped get the crowd dancing and assisted in ceilidh calling, creating a lively atmosphere at the dawn of 2014.

Meanwhile Reel Time’s Traditional Ceilidh Band played for guests in Forgans, St. Andrews. Guests enjoyed ceilidh dancing and traditional Scottish folk tunes before 2014 arrived.

After all the New Year celebrations Reel Time Bars served up drinks,  teas and coffees at the DanceBase in the Grassmarket on New Year’s Day. The hot coffee helped revive crowds after the events that took place over the past 24 hours! This event was part of the official Hogmanay

Scot:Lands festival that took place throughout Edinburgh’s Old Town.

Reel Time would like to thank everybody at these events for their Hogmanay cheer and wish everybody a Happy New Year!

The Edinburgh Wedding ceilidh band of choice for many is the Reel-Time Ceilidh Band

They recently played at a wedding in the luxurious Lennoxlove House at the weekend. Located near Haddington in East Lothian Lennoxlove House is over 700 years old; steeped in history the venue boasts spectacular views over the Lammermuir Hills.

This was Reel-Time’s last gig at Lennoxlove House as the Duke of Hamilton is returning to the estate. Having played over fifty gigs at Lennoxlove Reel-Time will miss playing ceilidh music in its grand halls.

It is a fitting location for the extravagant Polish-Scottish wedding that took place during which the Reel-Time Ceilidh Band helped teach the Polish guests traditional Scottish dances. The ceilidh band use a ceilidh caller to take guests through the dance steps then the music starts up and the dancing begins! The band is used to introducing our international neighbours to the joys of ceilidh dancing and the enthusiasm of the Polish guests helped create the perfect atmosphere for the wedding.

Following the energetic ceilidh dances Reel-Time set up a Disco allowing guests to choose their own favourite modern tunes.

Reel-Time would like to thank the staff at Lennoxlove house and all the wedding guests for helping to create a fun and memorable wedding.
