Named in a Scotsman poll as the best ceilidh band in Scotland, and the inaugural winners of the Best Scottish Dance band at the first ever Trad Music Awards, Alasdair MacCuish & the Black Rose Ceilidh Band has been putting their stamp on Ceilidh music for more than 30 years. The band first came to prominence in the early nineties when the ceilidh dance scene in Glasgow was in rude health. Venues like the Riverside Club and the Renfrew Ferry were packing in audiences every weekend with young ceilidh-goers keen to strut their stuff on the dance-floor to the new breed of dance band that was emerging. The Black Rose quickly developed a reputation for combining first class musicianship with an exciting energy and creative arrangements that made them firm favourites in Glasgow and beyond.
In the years since, the band has consistently tried to create a sound that was as exciting to the listener as it was to the dancer. Our intention is always to ensure our musical ambition achieves a sound that retains the heart and soul of the dance band sound while offering a freshness of direction that moves the tradition on.Â
Tonight, Alasdair has assembled a crack crew from across Scotland;Â some of the best dance band players in the country combined with a few surprise guests from the wider folk scene. Expect to have your socks well and truly danced off, like never before!
