Frequently Asked Questions
Booking
How do I book?
Either check availability via our short form or call Kevin directly on 07740 585350. A reply comes within 24 hours, usually much sooner.
How much notice do you need?
Saturday weddings in May–September typically book 12–18 months ahead. Burns Suppers (January) book Oct–Nov. Funerals — same-day where possible. Corporate events 4–12 weeks. If in doubt, just ask.
Do you travel?
Yes. Included within 30 miles of Falkirk (covers Stirling, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, and almost all of Central Scotland). Beyond that, £0.60 per mile is added transparently.
Logistics
What will you wear?
Full Highland No.1 dress — feather bonnet, plaid, sporran, dirk, the lot. Appropriate for the most formal settings.
Are you insured?
Yes — Public Liability Insurance. Certificate available on request.
Can I request specific tunes?
Yes. Tell Kevin when you book and he’ll confirm the set.
Do you provide invoices for corporate bookings?
Yes, VAT-ready where applicable.
On the day
Do you play outdoors in bad weather?
Yes, within reason. It’s Scotland — Kevin plays through weather. If your ceremony is moving indoors, he moves indoors too.
Can you also provide a Highland dancer?
By arrangement for larger events — enquire.
Can you do the Address to the Haggis?
Yes, in full — Burns’ original eight stanzas, performed with the sgian-dubh flourish.
Payment
How do I pay?
£100 deposit by bank transfer to confirm the booking. Balance on the day or by transfer a week before — whichever suits.
Is there a cancellation fee?
Discussed on booking confirmation. Deposit is non-refundable once a date is held.
