Skyrie Ceilidh
Based in Fife, Scotland and playing across the UK and Worldwide, Skyrie perform as a 3-5 piece ceilidh band. With their professional approach and passion for great dynamic music and creativity, they promise a performance to remember. The standard ceilidh line up features fiddle, guitar and drums with an experienced caller at the helm. They call and demonstrate all your favourite ceilidh dances and a few less well known ones too.
Skyrie have performed at the prestigious Celtic Connections Festival among others, at city wide holiday celebrations such as the Dundee Christmas Hooley in the town square, and globally at special occasions in cities such as Budapest , Cyprus, and the British Embassy in Kuwait.
We offer a 3 to 5 piece line up. Our full 5 piece line-up features two fiddles (or fiddle and whistle), guitar, bass and drums. The standard 3 piece band consists of fiddle, guitar and percussion/bodhran. We will tailor the line up to your needs and by request we also play bagpipes, whistle and mandolin.
Our ceilidh set is made up of traditional and contemporary Celtic tunes, and a large repertoire of our own tunes. If in addition you have any special requests, we are always happy to oblige!
We call all the dances and demonstrate them, so first-timers are always well looked after.
