Weddings
A Ceilidh Brings Everyone Together
A ceilidh is one of the few forms of wedding entertainment where different generations can genuinely enjoy themselves together.
You don’t need a room full of experienced dancers either. We explain and call the dances, helping everyone from complete beginners to seasoned ceilidh dancers get involved.
From an intimate wedding with our popular Iron Broo Duo to a larger full-band ceilidh with DJ/Disco afterwards, we’ll help you choose the right package for your celebration.
Parties & Corporate Events
Not Just for Weddings
Iron Broo ceilidhs work brilliantly for birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate events, university events, festivals and private celebrations.
Because the dances are called and explained, a ceilidh is particularly good for bringing together people who may not know one another — before long they’re dancing together.
We can tailor the band size, timings and music to suit your venue, guest numbers and event.

Over the years the band has played everywhere from intimate family celebrations to major venues and festivals, including Aberdeen Music Hall and eight appearances at T in the Park, as well as performances throughout Scotland and across Europe.
Different line-ups are available, from our hugely popular Duo to larger 3, 4, 5 and 6-piece bands — but the philosophy has remained the same:
Great live music, friendly expert calling and getting people onto the dance floor.
