ReelBack Ceilidh Band in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Scotland

Formed by five musicians with enviable talent and a vast wealth of experience in the music business, ReelBack are a ceilidh and covers band with a difference.

ReelBack use an eclectic mix of traditional and modern ceilidh music, giving the music a unique Celtic-fusion twist, with funky and syncopated rhythms. Many of our ceilidh tunes have been composed in a neo-traditional style by band members, and when added to our array of purely traditional tunes, this makes for the interesting and unexpected sets which ceilidh dancers can’t help but love!

Their caller is second to none, three times senior Scottish Highland Dancing champion, teacher of the art with many champions of her own, including senior Scottish and British champions, trained choreographer and composer. Gillian has ceilidh called all over the globe while touring with her own dance group, The Ballochleam Highland Dancers.

Gillian ensures that those who have never done a ceilidh dance in their lives still have a ball, and that the "experts" don't get bored waiting until she organizes the beginners, a difficult balance to achieve.

And when you tire of ceilidh dancing or would like a change of mood, ReelBack will slip into a set of polished pop classics, Rock and Roll, and modern covers. Or perhaps you will jus want to listen for a while, to ReelBack's Celtic Folk/Rock music

The band have a state of the arts PA system and stage and floor lighting.
