Function & Wedding Bands

Bahookie

Bahookie is comprised entirely of professional musicians (graduates from the prestigious Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama) who have been involved in the music business - performing and educating - for a considerable number of years.

As a 4-piece band consisting of Pipes/Fiddle, Bass Guitar, Piano/Guitar/Vocals and Drums/Vocals, one of the unique features of Bahookie is their vocal ability in singing popular Scots Songs, ie Auld Lang Syne, Loch Lomond, Flower of Scotland, The Wild Mountain Thyme, Killiecrankie and Dougie MacLean's Caledonia which is a particular highlight of the set.

The BIG "bahookie" sound! is a unique blend of rock and traditional celtic music and the band's success can undoubtedly be attributed to their ability to transfer their highly acclaimed recorded material to the most fantastic and unforgettable live performances. This ability has seen the band visit many countries throughout the world.

As a band with a difference, their strong vocal presence on songs such as Caledonia and My Love is like a Red, Red Rose, in addition to their unique contemporary arrangements of traditional folk tunes, make bahookie stand out from the crowd.

Bahookie can offer a full band set-up for all events or a more acoustic mellow sound for any requirements you may need as background music.
