Sounds Braw Ceilidh Band

Sounds Braw Ceilidh Band, based in Dunfermline, Fife, has been entertaining Scottish audiences for over ten years.

We are well placed to provide a fun evening of ceilidh dancing to the traditional Scottish sound, be it for a wedding, silver wedding, 18th or 21st birthday party or indeed any anniversary or celebration.

The full band consists of two fiddles, piano and drums - we are also happy to perform as a smaller group to suit your function and budget.
