All about Schuggie

If we haven’t met yet, hello 👋my name is Schuggie, please feel free to use any pronouns when referring to me.

My philosophy: “To make the world more awesome, one ceilidh dance at a time”

Meet Schuggie – Your Ceilidh Caller!

Hey there! I’m Schuggie, the friendly face (and loud voice!) behind Schuggie’s Ceilidhs – bringing ceilidhs with a contemporary twist to weddings, parties, and events across the UK. If you’re looking for a ceilidh that’s fun, inclusive, and packed with energy, you’re in the right place!

What’s a Ceilidh, and Why is it So Much Fun?

A ceilidh (pronounced ‘kay-lea’) is the ultimate social dance – no experience needed, no pressure to get it perfect, just great music, lots of laughter, and a dance floor full of happy people. It’s the ideal way to bring guests together, break the ice, and create unforgettable memories. Whether you’re a total ceilidh ninja🥷 or have two left feet, I’ll guide you through the steps with clear, friendly instructions and plenty of encouragement.

Why Choose Me as Your Caller?

With almost twenty years of experience (that’s over 500 events, including 150 weddings) calling ceilidhs at everything from weddings and festivals to student nights and corporate events, I know how to read the room, keep the energy high, and make sure everyone’s having a blast. My ceilidhs are:

Easy to follow – I explain the steps in a way that’s clear, fun, and beginner-friendly.
Adaptable to any crowd – Whether your guests are total ceilidh ninjas🥷 or complete newbies, I’ll make sure everyone feels included.
High-energy and interactive – No awkward shuffling at the back – I get everyone involved and make it a night to remember.
Set to incredible live music – in addition to my CeilidhDJ package, I also work with some of the best ceilidh bands around, so the tunes are always top-notch.

What Kind of Events Do I Call For?

I call ceilidhs for weddings, birthdays, student events, community ceilidhs, corporate parties, Burns Night, St Andrew’s Day, Hogmanay, festivals, and more! If you want your event to be remembered as fun, social and inclusive, I’ve got you covered.

Whether it’s a laid-back gathering with a few dances or a full-blown ceilidh extravaganza, I tailor the experience to suit you and your guests. Want a mix of ceilidh and disco? A high-energy, fast-paced set? A relaxed, beginner-friendly vibe? Let’s make it happen!

Let’s Get Dancing!

If you’re looking for a ceilidh that’s fun, social and inclusive🌈, I’d love to bring the party to you. Get in touch, and let’s make some ceilidh magic happen!

I have a wealth of experience so encouraging guests to join isn’t an issue and I help with your running order from that first dance right the way through to the wind down at the end of the evening.

I’ve hosted ceilidhs right across the country in a whole range of venues- castles, marquees, tipis, hotels, halls, fields, beaches, forests🌲and even London Zoo🦁🐧
