About the band

The Robert Fish Band have been getting folk on their feet in Edinburgh and beyond since the great ceilidh revival of the 1990s. We spend many an evening “walking the line between tradition and innovation with sparkling flair – and a highly contagious sense of fun” (Sue Wilson) and have played venues from Blackpool to Brittany, from Leipzig to Lochaber, from Glasgow Green to Gilmerton Miners’ Welfare Club. We play and call the steps for all the well-known Scottish ceilidh dances and a few of the more unusual ones besides, with a line-up of fiddle, accordion/whistle, guitar, bass and percussion.

“Many thanks for playing and calling for our ceilidh at the Piping Centre as part of our wedding celebrations. Your playing was fantastic and it was great to have instructions for those unfamiliar with the dances! Many guests commented on what a great evening they had – thank you again for everything you did in making it such a success!” Suzanne
