A new Ceilidh dance from our St. Andrews Ceilidh in Luxembourg

on December 28, 2023December 28, 2023

It's sad to see that it's not as celebrated as it used to be. This year, Iron Broo only managed to perform at two St. Andrews ceilidh nights. On the other...

The best Ceilidh band ever, our whole wedding was jumping from start to finish. My English relatives couldn't get... enough of the dancing and were guided so well. Thoroughly recommend Charlie Abel and all of his brilliant 5 piece band.read more

We were lucky enough to have Iron Broo play for us at our wedding, where half the guests were Scottish and experienced... ceilidh and reeling dancers and the other half were German and had no idea what was going on! The fact that Iron Broo got EVERYONE on the dance floor and partaking enthusiastically in both Scottish and German dances is a testament to their legendary music and DJ'ing! The evening simply wouldn't have been the same without them. Thank you so much Iron Broo for making our multi-national wedding such a cracking party!read more

We were finally able to hold a P7 Leavers' Ceilidh this year post covid. Iron Broo helped to make the evening for our... pupils and family and great success. We were a little concerned as many of our pupils and their families had never been to a ceilidh. I need not have worried! The dance floor was full for every dance. Charlie explained the steps and the music was just first class!A very special part of the evening was when the little kids asked for Musical Statues. Charlie and Fred obliged with an array of snappy tunes that got more than just the kids up dancing. Brilliant!The only question is...when can we have our next Iron Broo ceilidh?? They have definitely hooked a new generation of ceilidh enthusiasts. Thank you Charlie and Fred! 💃🕺💃read more

Iron Broo played at our wedding and their ceilidh was amazing fun. It's the part of our special day I enjoyed the most!... All the guests commented on how much they enjoyed it and how great their music was (including Charlie's beautiful singing voice). Some guests from England said that they now wanted to hire a ceilidh band for their own wedding. Charlie and Fred were super friendly and helpful as we had to reschedule a couple of times. They offered to play a French theme to honour my roots. I couldn't recommend them more, they're the best. Thank you so much!read more

Charlie and his band played at our wedding reception recently. Really nice guys, great music and they managed to... persuade some pretty reluctant folk to get up and have a go. If you want a lively evening you can't go wrong with Iron Broo!read more

Iron Broo were fantastic! We had two members of Iron Broo play and call the dances at a small international event of... tutors and students. There were around 20 of us and the band had such patience and provided us with so much fun. Everyone had a great time and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. I will use them again and again!read more

Iron Broo played for our wedding ceilidh and they were absolutely brilliant. Charlie and his band set up quietly and... discreetly during the speeches and did a fabulous set.The calling was needed as most of our guests weren't scottish and didn't know the dances. i would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good ceilidh band.read more
