Graeme

Graeme

Graeme has performed for Buena Vista Entertainments over the past 16 years. Being self employed Graeme is available for both weekend and mid-week events, specialising in weddings he also loves doing anniversaries, birthday parties and corporate events.

Graeme

Working regularly with some of the finest ceilidh bands in Scotland he’s found himself working as a disc jockey, compere and ceilidh caller – and often a mixture of them all! Graeme often forms part of a band acting as the caller for the dances, inviting guests to the floor and teaching them how to enjoy a ceilidh. It's your event and you want it to go perfectly, you want your event to really be just that, a great event with people dancing all night - this isn't something you should be worrying about, so let Graeme sort that part out.

Graeme doesn’t come as the cheapest entertainer, but then is your event something you want to scrimp on? With some of the top hotels suggesting their clients book Graeme for their entertainment you’d be well advised to book him up before someone else does!

Sound and lighting

Graeme’s “standard” rig is hardly standard. His own love for gadgets and great sound and light shows is the reason why he has what is probably one of the best speaker systems in the world. The latest Bose L1 stands 7’ tall and only 5” wide but packs 24 speakers in the column with additional bass speaker on the floor. The Bose system brings home hifi quality to the function suite and packs plenty power for your average sized wedding party. The music comes from the new DJ specific MP3 playing decks allowing full control and overlaying tracks which holds the huge range of music which might be needed for your party.

When it comes to lighting effects, Graeme has many to choose from and he selects those which make the most of your venue, complimenting the shape and size of the room; rest assured there are no 70’s school disco lights!

There’s also a number of options for enhancing the equipment for your event including: Cloth backdrop with twinkling star effect, Additional Bose L1 speakers and bass bins powerful enough for the largest of venues, lighting truss to replace the traditional lighting T-bars doubling the number of effects, DMX controlled lighting. If these are of interest please ask. Likewise, having worked in many of the venues over the years, if the venue you’ve chosen needs that little bit more sound or light then Graeme will suggest this to you during your enquiry.

All equipment is kept in excellent condition and tested regularly for electrical safety as is required for portable appliances. The PAT Certificate is available should your venue require to see it.

Before your event you will have completed a list of music you want to hear on your night. What’s equally important to Graeme is to know of any tunes you don’t want to hear; your requests are important, it’s your party!

Graeme carries over eight thousand tunes covering many genres and can cover themed parties too. Your guests are welcome and encouraged to give their suggestions of tunes which will work for your group.

You don’t have to have ceilidh, but if it suits your party some of the ceilidh dances which can be called for you and your guests might be - Gay Gordons - Dashing White Sergeant - Canadian Barn Dance - St Bernard’s Waltz - Britannia Two Step - Flying Scotsman - Strip the Willow - Military Two Step - Circassian Circle - Virginia Reel - Orcadian Strip the Willow. All these dances can be called - don’t worry about anything!

The Clients’ Comments

Please pass on my thanks to Graeme the DJ we had for our Hogmanay party. He was fantastic and all our passengers had a fantastic time.

The night honestly was superb and couldn’t have gone better in any way possible. The floor was constantly full and the DJ created such a fantastic atmosphere, the place was just jumping the whole night, right from the word go. Obviously this was a HUGE contribution to making our Wedding Day as special as it should be and we can’t thank you enough for this.

Please, please, please pass on our gratitude and thanks for helping make our big day so perfect.

A huge thank you to Graeme, the caller/DJ, who totally made the evening of our wedding such a fabulous party. I can't continue to recommend enough, the way he interacted with everyone... and got us all to do the steps and joking with us. If I had known how great it would be I wouldn't have worried for a second whether the ceilidh idea would work with a load of complete beginners. Everyone said they had a great time.
