| If you are looking for a brighter more dynamic ceilidh event, having a dedicated Dance Caller / Presenter, can make all the difference. In addition to creating a motivating focus point for your guests, a professional entertainer guides the programme smoothly from beginning to end, making sure each element seamlessly follows the next. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| David Vivanco | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ceilidh Dance Caller / Event Presenter | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Over 10 years experience in the industry | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Background: Music / Acting / Management & Languages | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| There are a number of ceilidh bands with whom I work regularly. The size of band and instruments in the line-up are flexible, depending on requirements and you can have anything from a single accordionist to a full five-piece band. Recorded music is another option, considerably lowering the cost without necessarily detracting from the atmosphere. Because you have a dedicated dance caller / presenter on the dance floor with your guests, the absence of live musicians need not be a concern. This is very popular for smaller occasions, informal school and business functions or where the ceilidh dancing is a shorter 'section' of the evening rather than the main event. If you require a piper, clarsach player/singer, story-teller, highland dancer/s or Scottish Country dancers, I will be happy to make recommendations. If you're planning an event and want a friendly, flexible and professional frontman who will work hard to make sure your guests have a really great time - please get in touch! |

| "....just to say thank you so much for giving us exactly the kind of easy-going ceilidh we needed and for reading us punters so well. The whole thing was pitched almost perfectly and we had a great time." Anne Heller-Murphy - 4th Leith Scout Group Committee, Edinburgh |

| "David Vivanco organised a ceilidh for our English Language Summer School in August of this year. With great enthusiasm, matched with a high degree of sensitivity, he managed to teach dances and Scottish songs to about 150 international students of all ages. They loved every minute of it and it was a highlight of our summer school." Stefanie Tytler - Head of C.E.L.T., University Of Stirling | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "...luckily we arrived just in time to go to the Ceilidh.....a fountain of enjoyment, happiness and delight coming from dancing! Your energy charged us, I believe we could have danced until the morning, it was such great relaxation! And, of course, we were looking forward to singing folksongs! Everyone sang and at that moment people from different countries who didn't know eachother were like one big family...." Irina Parkhomenko, Public Administration student - Russia |

| "...David Vivanco and his band played at the ceilidh and were superb. The musicians were excellent and played a great selection of music for a variety of dances. I have been to a number of ceilidhs and know that the personality and experience of the caller can make or break the evening. David was the best caller ever. We shall ask him to play again for us soon ...." Ruper Valpy, Chief Executive, Dowcarter Limited - Edinburgh |
