Scotlands best ceilidh band

The Jacobites are an experienced and exciting ceilidh band based in Edinburgh that offer professional ceilidhs for weddings, festivals and events.
We play all over Scotland, the UK and Europe. We offer a ceilidh with a difference.

Description

The Jacobites are passionate about Scottish music. We play it, we write it, we teach it and we perform it. Together we have 30 years combined experience in the Scottish music industry. We’ve played at festivals, weddings, concerts and events across Scotland, the UK and Europe and we’re the founders of The Edinburgh Street Ceilidh.

Our highlights are – playing at the festival ‘Mestralia’ in Catalonia twice, playing a festival tour of North East France including Paris, composing and performing a WW1 remembrance tune for HRH Princess Anne. Playing at the BBC Hogmanay Live with Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain. Featuring on the BBC’s ‘Bargain Hunt’.

Playing at hundreds of venues across the UK from grand concert halls to small town halls. Playing with the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra to playing at weddings across the country. Teaching and inspiring the next generation of Scottish musicians to founding The Edinburgh Street Ceilidh. We have won national traditional music competitions to playing for Irish dancers. Playing the critically acclaimed Wilfred Owen violin to leading local traditional music sessions. Writing our own sets of music to playing concerts in aid of and in recognition of humanitarian causes.

As you can see, we love Scottish music.

Our name the Jacobites is a nod to our tradition.

We take that tradition and with our own unique style and sets bring it in to the present day.

  • We had a brilliant experience with The Jacobites playing for our wedding! We had the best time and all our guests were thrilled with the ceilidh. They went above and beyond to ensure our evening was perfect from start to finish. They were also great beforehand with any questions we had about playlists/how the evening would run. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I hope we get a chance to experience another Ceilidh with them again!

  • The Jacobites played at our wedding before Christmas. They were fantastic, both in terms of music and calling (and very patient as most of us had no idea what we were doing!) We all had a brilliant night and would thoroughly recommend The Jacobites for your event.
