Danse McCabre

Formed in 2003, Danse McCabre has an eclectic, lively style, playing a mixture of old favourites and less familiar dances as required, and includes its own Caller. Described as 'fantastic' by Real Weddings magazine, Danse McCabre has built an enviable reputation as THE all-girl ceilidh band in the North of Scotland. The band also provides Scottish music for listening at conference banquets, weddings and other occasions.

We play all the obvious ceilidh dances – Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant, Strip the Willow, Eightsome Reel etc. – as well as a few fun and easy to learn ones like the Flying Scotsman, the ‘Helicopter’ and the Riverside Jig. We call all the dances and walk them through as necessary. We’ve played for a wide variety of people and occasions and always tailor things to suit the particular gathering. We never like anyone not to be dancing just because they feel they won’t know what to do. We usually finish off the evening with an Orcadian Strip the Willow down the whole length of the room, and Auld Lang Syne.
