Scotland Ceilidh Bands

How much do Ceilidh Bands in Scotland cost?

Ceilidh Bands in Scotland cost from £307 to £2108. The average price in 2025 was £1048. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into Scotland from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.

We will always do our best to help you find an artist within your budget, so please give us a call if you can't find what you're looking for.
