A fully charged ‘Ceilidh’ Live band featuring https://www.duncanandstrutt.co...and callers Robert & Mike from Scots on the rocks https://www.facebook.com/group... will feature, along with Pipes and Drums from Barry Gray of https://www.pipersofdistinctio... and of course live vocals by Scottish Superstar, Mary Kiani.
Chris Duncan and Catherine Strutt have been exploring and performing the traditional fiddle music of Scotland since 1990 together and have earned themselves the honourable position of being the longest functioning Scottish music duo in Australia.
Specialising in the Scottish music idiom, the ARIA and multi award winning, Newcastle based duo, have performed internationally and nationally at festivals, concerts, private functions, and countless Scottish Country dances and Balls. In recent years as ceilidhs have become more and more popular, they have established for themselves a strong reputation as Australia's leading Scottish Wedding ceilidh "band" and are the preferred choice for Scottish Wedding Ceilidhs.
SUNDAY - THE HANGOVER BREAKFAST
The event will offer so many experiences over the weekend to cater to any level of excitement, so check out the offerings and see you in the Valley in January 2024 for the second Scottish Weekender!
