Verified profile

We have performed at ceilidhs for many a year and have a wide repertoire of music from different countries . The biggest part is Scottish and Irish music but we can include some French Italian Israel or American styles if required. We operate normally as a two piece with fiddle and accordion but we also add drums if necessary. We are fully equipped to handle most function sizes and rarely encounter any problems.

Flaming Heather's ceilidh was the highlight of our family gathering! Simply the most fun, joyful time. They were so accommodating and managed to guide our inexpereinced group seamlessly in dancing... Everyone raved about it for the rest of the weekend! Thank you for the most fabulous time.

Flaming Heather were a great addition to our evening. They organised everyone very well and helped everyone get the steps right! They helped us pick dances that everyone at the wedding could get involved in and they were very friendly.highly recommend!

They arrived on time and helped with the calling as many of the guest hadn’t danced a ceilidh before. The whole experience fitted in well with our little function. Many thanks
