JingBang - One of Northeast Scotland's best ceilidh bands.

JingBang is a ceilidh dance band which evolved in early 2002. The line-up now features five instrumentalists, all well known local musicians with wide experience.

We're keen to play for good-going ceilidh dances in and around the Aberdeen area. From well known to lesser known dances, from slow to fast and very fast dances we can call you through the lot. Even a contradance or two if you let us know at the time of booking. As the band members enjoy dancing themselves, we will give a quick demo of some of the 'couples' dances, given half a chance!

JingBang's aim is to have a thoroughly good time while giving you an Occasion to Remember!

"Fantastic Music! Best band we've had - can you come again next year?"
