What do they sound like?
The Corstophine Ceilidh Band draws together some great talent, and their influences have been Capercaillie, Shooglenifty and the top Scottish bands of today. Their music really incorporates all these styles to give it a Celtic yet modern contemporary sound that's full of emotion and fun.
It's not often you get a ceilidh band that offers songs as well, but with the Corstophine Ceilidh Band you have lively Celtic music blended with wonderful songs from Colin. A great combination that balances the evening very well.
