Ah, now the pig wrangling teaser video makes sense. Farmers! Pay attention! Pigs like blue hats and unbelievably Reels 18 too.

Just another very, very normal build up to a fabulous wedding ceilidh in the country.

We had an absolute blast playing for University of Dundee Graduation Ball at Slaley Hall.

The Dashing White Sergeant was only one of twelve dances we played for that evening

Thanks so much Encore Musicians and to the 250 fabulous dancers who made this a night we will never ever forget.

Do you have a wedding, birthday, graduation or any other special event that you’d like to go with a swing…literally?

The Blue Hat Ceilidh Band provide everything you need for a great night, including live music and caller to give you all the instructions

Bookings now being taken for 2027 & 2028.

We really do hope you enjoy the video.

Isn’t it fabulous when all your hard work and effort is recognised by your customers.

There really is no feeling like it.

Thank you so much for the review by University of Dundee on Encore Musicians from a gig we did recently at Slaley Hall, Northumberland.

We very much hope we can play for you in the future.

Well! Who would have thought if you put the Blue Hat Ceilidh Band and 250 graduates from The University of Dundee in the 5 star luxury Slaley Hall Hotel you’d get the most amazing night ever.

Thanks to you fabulous dancing people, you made it one of our best gigs ever!

Video coming soon!
