A truly unique sound and feel from the master blenders of traditional Irish and Scottish music with a pop/rock twist. We don't really know what to call it, but we love it!
If having a cheesy pop band or a bunch of kids just out of school perform at your wedding or event is your idea of hell, then here's the alternative - Ladies & Gentlemen, Scotland's favourite agency is proud to present The Scoundrels.
This is a proper band made up of experienced and talented musicians who know how to fill a dance floor. In fact there's hardly a corner of Scotland that hasn't been rocked by this fantastic band. Impossible to pigeon hole, you're as likely to hear a traditional Irish drinking song as you are a tune from the current top ten, but their sound is 100% authentic with no tolerance for pre-recorded nonsense from these lads.
Combining drums and cajon, bass, fiddle, guitar, banjo and the raspy vocals of one of Scotland's finest singers, you'll have an experience with The Scoundrels you and your guests will never forget.
On the practical side, the band is compact, requiring minimum space, have no issues with sound limiters and are totally and completely reliable. They're also a breath of fresh air off stage as well as on - you simply won't meet a nicer (and funnier) bunch of musicians anywhere. So if you're planning a wedding but refuse to have the same old wedding band, if you're planning a corporate event and want an authentic gritty sound with a real flavour of Scotland and Ireland, or if you're just having a hooley for the sake of it, we can't recommend The Scoundrels enough.
You can check if the lads are available and even get an instant quote by simply filling in the quick enquiry form. If you'd rather we checked for you just email Gaye@hireaband.co.uk and we'll get back to you on the same business day. One thing we guarantee, you won't be disappointed by one of the finest bands Scotland has to offer.

Absolutely delighted when we found out that The Scoundrels were available for our wedding at Kincraig Castle House hotel last Saturday, and man they didn’t disappoint! We had an absolutely amazing time and our day was made even more special by the band who delivered a brilliant performance.
So receptive to our track list and they even learned our first dance so that we could have it performed live.
Very talented musicians and every one of our guests loved them and were on the dance floor all night.
If you're looking for a wedding band with an amazing sound- This is it!!!
Thanks again Gerry and the band we’d love to book you guys again in the future.
We got married on Saturday and we chose the Scoundrels as our wedding band. In the lead up to the wedding, Gerry was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. On the night, the band were absolutely fantastic- everyone is still talking about what a great job they did. They are professional, fun and very talented; three things that don’t come together very often in life
The band were amazing and were very professional. The whole evening was fantastic, playing a very good range of music. I would just like to say a very big thank you to Gerry and the rest of the band and would definitely book you again (if you will have us!). Thank so much once again for contributing to a special night for William's 60th.
I would like to say that the Scoundrels were perfect for the party on Sat 13th Oct 2018. They arrived in plenty of time and had setup and sound checked for the first guests arriving. They were happy accommodating our timings with the surprise and were the perfect party hosts with good rapport and chat with the guests.
Their music was fantastic and sounded excellent, many of the guests made comment on this. They played the requested songs as well as some more up to date covers and had the dance floor filled right to the last song. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Scoundrels for any occasion and will definitely keep them in mind for any future parties.
Please pass on my regards to the band and thanks to all the team at hireaband.
Kind regards
Tony
We hired The Scoundrels for a corporate function in march this year 2018,
We found the band to be good value for money in a few instances, Music range was great and played to the crowd. Requests were taken and every instruction was followed and carried out by Gerry. As you can imagine there is a lot of goings on and starting and stopping which goes on but nothing was any trouble.
Gerry even carried on throughout the night (we had booked out a whole hotel) playing in the bar until the last man was standing which for me is great customer care and ensuring that it was a night to remember.
I would highly recommend The Scoundrels to any event and would hire them again in a heartbeat as all my colleagues loved it. So if you are thinking of hiring them it’s a no brainer
