Conference Ceilidh experts: The Reel Time Scraggly Cats entertained a fantastic bunch of biophysicists. The group were attending their 2017 conference at the EICC, Edinburgh. The conference ran over 3 days, with a ceilidh and party night planned for the closing event. 1300 delegates turned out for the party.

Leiths started proceeding, presenting an excellent buffet dinner. The event space was left completely open, with no chairs, just a few poseur tables for eating. This made for a really sociable atmosphere, and encouraged guests onto the dance floor, which was packed all evening.

Conference ceilidh dancers

The band were accompanied by 8 Highland dancers who were able to lead the way and keep control on the dancefloor. It was great to see international guests, from literally every corner of the globe, come together and ceilidh dance. We stuck to the easier dances, with the faster dances proving most popular!

If you are in need of a great ceilidh band who can explain how to dance our Scottish dance to an international crowd, do get in touch for more detail.

The great thing about the Scraggly Cats is that as well as being a fantastic ceilidh band. They are also able to keep the dance floor full with pop and rock classics. This gives conference organisers the peace of mind that the cultural element will be fulfilled, at the same time as guests enjoying their favourite hits!

Ceilidh Recording: The Reel Time Ceilidh Band love performing in front of crowds however, recently they have been spending more time than usual in the recording studio. They have been working hard on tracks for the new album.

The New Tracks

The band have recorded one Roddy’s favourite childhood tunes: Appropriate Dipstick. Originally recorded by Wolfstone, this track is thought by many to be at the forefront of Celtic Rock. Have a listen to the Reel Time Band’s recording of the track on Soundcloud. They have also just finished recording the Congress Reel set which we would definitely recommend you have a listen to on Soundcloud too!

Performing the New Tracks

This week the Reel Time Ceilidh Band had a chance to perform their new tracks at The Hub, Edinburgh. They were entertaining a group of microbiologists who were in Edinburgh for a conference at the EICC. The international guests relished the opportunity to enjoy the cultural experience of Scottish ceilidh dancing with the band.
