Eriskay Lilt are the husband & wife duo Don & Kathleen MacDonald. Formed in 1995, they have since established a large and loyal following through their unique combination of lively west coast Scottish ceilidh music and popular vocal numbers encompassing a variety of different styles.

Everything from Scottish, Irish and Country & Western favourites to up-to-date pop songs can be found in their extensive repertoire. In addition, all of the popular Scottish ceilidh dances are covered, from the Gay Gordons and Highland Schottische to the Dashing White Sergeant and Strip the Willow. And if all that still isn’t enough, Eriskay Lilt now offer the services of a disco if required - and at no extra cost - to everyone booking the band. Simply provide the CDs and your playlist, and Eriskay Lilt will take care of the rest!

A firm favourite at weddings and parties throughout Scotland, Eriskay Lilt are constantly in demand. To avoid disappointment, early booking is recommended.
