Hello and thank you for visiting my website. I am very passionate about dancing and from an early age, I took part in dancing competitions and attained an IDTA first gold bar award in ballroom and latin dancing before leaving school. In more recent years, I used to help demonstrate ceilidh and Scottish Country Dancing with Edinburgh University. (I live in Dunfermline).

Cheaper than a ceilidh band, I can provide my own PA system (Bose tower) and backing tracks to call a wide range of ceilidh dances for your event.

There are two main advantages over a ceilidh caller compared to a ceilidh band:

1. Price,

2. My main focus are the people dancing so there is a reduced risk of dancers going astray and causing any injury. 

TESTIMONIAL: "What a great night we had with Richard. We didn’t have room in our venue for a Ceilidh band but he was literally a one man band!! As well as providing the music he kept us all right with the dances as well as encouraging people up on the dance floor. He also mixed in a bit of modern music and who doesn't like The Proclaimers!! We didn’t realise at the time but he took a video for us which he edited and sent to us afterwards. This was a lovely touch and a great reminder of the night. We can’t recommend him enough, and will be using him again for our next event!!"
