About
Glasgow based ceilidh band The Big Shoogle are a four piece band with many years of playing in front of small, large and mahoosive crowds all over the planet. They bill themselves as the World’s Rockiest Ceilidh Band and with good reason, they have a unique approach to ceilidh music blending rock and other influences while still remaining solidly rooted in the Scottish tradition.
They have played in top venues worldwide for every kind of audience imaginable in Paris, Brussels, London, Copenhagen, Moscow, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Baku, Florence, Pisa for Supermodels and Hollywood A-listers. With a state-of-the-art sound system, adaptable to suit small, intimate weddings and functions to large events in the biggest ballrooms, along with the very latest LED and laser stage lighting puts the icing on the cake ensuring that your event is a memorable one.
The line-up consists of accordion, electric and acoustic guitar, fiddle, drums and 2 vocals. If Carlsberg made Ceilidh Bands, they probably wouldn't be half as exciting as The Big Shoogle!!! You’ll KNOW when you’ve been Shoogled!

Services offered
All the favourite ceilidh dances are catered for as well as many Scottish Country Dances if requested. Guests are talked through the steps of all ceilidh dances by their excellent dance caller so that everyone can participate and nobody is left out. No previous ceilidh experience is required! As well as their sets with rock tunes and riffs mashed up with the traditional jigs and reels they also have a repertoire of rock and pop covers that they can play later in the evening if required.
How they work
The emphasis is always on having fun and with a sense of humour. When "calling" the dances it's always done in a very informal and fun way which encourages lots of interaction and banter between the band and the guests/audiences. Although they don't take themselves seriously they're serious about making sure that everyone has a fantastic night and the dancefloor full.
