The Music
Ceilidh and songs all in one place
Not only do we bring a rockin’ ceilidh band to the party, but we’ve also got the versatility to serenade your guests with stunning live music during the ceremony and keep the energy up with fun, upbeat tunes during the breaks.
For more intimate weddings, we can keep it cosy with just a soloist for a relaxed ceilidh experience. If you’re after a mix of beautiful harmonies and a bit of ceilidh fun, our combo band has you covered. And for those who want to dance the night away, our full traditional ceilidh band will keep you ceilidhing until the very end!

Graeme has performed at weddings, events and festivals around Australia showcasing a beautiful collection of traditional tunes, transporting your guests back to the Celtic lands alongside classic covers to keep the party going.

Graeme is so so talented both musically and performance wise (as they are not always the same thing). With a great repertoire as well as readiness to do requests for my parents wedding he has a great presence
Jackie Barnes
I’ve had the pleasure of being in the audience multiple times to see Graeme McColgan (The Scotsman) perform; solo, in his trio “The Stovies”, as well as taking part in his Ceilidh events. Each and every time, Graeme gives 200% to his performance, with so much attention to detail, audience participation, and a genuine desire to have attendees leave at the end with a warm sense of community belonging and that they’ve joined in something truly special.
I’ve also hired Graeme to perform at events, and found him to be extremely organised, professional, super easy to deal with, and committed to providing a musical/cultural experience that warms the heart and puts a grin on your face (and occasional tears of joy in your eyes!).
Cannot recommend Graeme and his Ceilidh Connections suite of products more highly!

You will never forget a performance or event involving the passionate entertainer, Graeme McColgan. He is a community driven artist, committed to bringing the memories of his homeland to his new home in Australia; involving all in the energetic fun of a great Ceilidh or in the soulful rendition of songs from the heart. And he is an accomplished and thorough organiser and promoter. You are such an enthusiastic, warm and funny bloke, Graeme! And it shines through in your work.
Terese Tanner
Wildly entertaining, brimming with talent, all heart and kilt! Being in the audience at one of Graeme’s gigs is like going on a journey through the Scottish landscape with yer best mate! and maybe with a scotch in hand
