About Òr Cèilidh Band
Members of Òr Cèilidh Band
Òr has 4 core members; Alex, Morag, Rua and Marc. Between them they play guitar, fiddle,
pipes and whistle and generate a unique sound, excellent for both dancing and listening to.
As well as the 4 core members, we regularly invite guest artists to play with the band for
larger events, often performing with a drummer in bigger venues. We also often work with
acclaimed singers, harpists, pianists and accordionists, should you wish to add a different
twist to the evening.
