Hud Yer Wheesht – keeping Edinburgh and Glasgow ceilidhs funky !

Welcome to the website of Hud yer Wheesht, we are an experienced, upbeat and energetic Edinburgh / Glasgow ceilidh band and whatever the occasion, we emphasise the fun in ceilidhs and try to make it a good night for all.

New August 2026:
New reviews !
New photos !
New gigs !
… AND we have been rehearsing – starting in Autumn 2026 we hope to be playing some new ceilidh sets… more soon.

We play at sports clubs, weddings, student functions, conferences, private parties, charity fundraisers in Edinburgh, Glasgow, central Scotland, and occasionally farther afield. Read some of what people have said about us, for example:.

“… Wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the rest of the band for doing such an excellent job …”

With a typical line-up including drum kit, guitar, bass, flute and fiddle, we are an experienced and professional sounding band, and with a decent PA system we can set up with minimal fuss. 30 years of getting folk up and dancing at ceilidhs has not diminished our enthusiasm.

“… Your understanding of the mood of the wedding, and the profile of our guests, meant everyone felt comfortable to join in … “

One size doesn’t fit all – we can reduce the size of the band and our PA system depending on the size of venue and length of ceilidh.

“… What a night! You guys were fantastic, I loved your singing …”

We keep it simple by sticking to the easier dances – plus a couple of surprises up our sleeve, we’ll explain them all if required, but we’ve a pretty good idea of what will work and what won’t work with a given crowd of folk. We’re used to calling dances where a large portion of the guests don’t know what to do.

“… You pitched the ceilidh just right for our mixture of ceilidh pros and novices …”
