Annasach (Gaelic for unusual, unconventional) are a three-piece ceilidh band plus dance caller and have been playing for ceilidhs, parties, birthdays, weddings and folk festivals since 1990 from Aberdeen to Zurich!
The sound of the band has a more folk based slant rather than traditional ceilidh with the current line-up being fiddle, keyboard and bass. This provides an energetic, vibrant sounding front line mixed with a forceful, funky piano and bass back line.
Our dance caller, Tricia, (who is probably the most important member of the band!) has years of experience and is guaranteed to calm any nerves and make sure that everyone enjoys themselves.
All the usual ceilidh favorites plus a few you won't know!

Thank you Annasach for such a wonderful Ceilidh! You were able to get everyone on their feet, which made for a fantastic couple of hours of dancing! We are very much looking forward to taking part in another of your Ceilidhs on a future trip to Scotland. Mr and Mrs Edwards :)
"OH MY GOD!!! Undoubtedly the BEST ceilidh I've ever been to. The music was world class - and Patricia the caller managed to coordinate 300 people of 48 different nationalities to dance together!! The craic was mighty - my calves are still hurting 3 days later. Thank you so much for making our night magical and giving all our European counterparts such a good impression of Celtic Culture!"
