Happy New Year

Wishing all our ceilidh-going dancers, previous and future clients, family and friends a fantastic 2012. We’ve had a great year with the band, and will be seeing it out in style with a sold out gig in the centre of Edinburgh tonight.

Hope to see you at the next ceilidh!

Photography Scotland — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:26:35 +0000

We tend to find that as soon as the New Year celebrations are over, folk are phoning us to book us for their ceilidhs in the coming year. If you’re planning an event, you can check our availability on the Da Hooley ceilidh band gigs page. Please book early if you are planning an event such as a wedding or family celebration that is on a fixed date – we sometimes get booked up over a year in advance.

Although the band is based in Edinburgh, we’re happy to travel. if you’d like to find out more, please contact the band. We look forward to hearing from you!

We’ll be playing for a ceilidh in the centre of Edinburgh for Hogmanay. We’ll even let you nip out for a neb at the fireworks at midnight, as long as you promise to come back for more dancing after. We’re looking forward to another fun night!

We’re looking forward to getting out for an Edinburgh ceilidh at St Bride’s next Saturday. We’ll be playing for the Scots Music Group, for the last of their monthly ceilidhs for this year. Don’t hang about if you want to get tickets…it usually sells out!

You can buy tickets online from the Scots Music Group website or by phone from the St Bride’s Centre

See you on the dance floor!

New site launched

That’s it, the new website is officially launched. Phew!

And tonight we’re off to play for the annual Stuart’s Melville Pipe Band fundraising ceilidh. I’ve lost count of exactly how many years we’ve been playing for the school, but we love doing it. One of the highlights is getting to hear the pipe band play in the break, and watching the amazing manoeuvres of the drumming section. They always have some seriously impressive coordination going on!

I’ve been working on redesigning the band website. This is a temporary version. There’s still some more blurb to be added, but we’re getting there!

I’d be interested in any feedback.
