Overview

Ever wondered what Robbie Williams sounds like on bagpipes? Wonder no more! The Rollin Drones are a dynamic and high-energy bagpipe pop band who were born to bring the ultimate party atmosphere to your wedding or function.

 

Since their inception in 2015, the Rollin Drones have established a stellar reputation for their lively performances at festivals, weddings, and corporate events. Having recently released their new album, ‘The Twa Keys’, the Rollin Drones are in high demand and have entertained audiences across the world - including at NYC Tartan Week and the Washington Tattoo.

 

Forget the same old entertainment you’ve seen a thousand times! The Rollin Drones infuse your celebration with a fresh twist - traditional bagpipes meet modern pop songs, with a splash of ceilidh thrown in. 

For a wedding that’s full of personality and energy, the Rollin Drones are the perfect fit. They don't just play music - they create an experience. Whether it’s for a packed dance floor or an intimate moment, they blend the rich heritage of Scottish music with today’s biggest tunes, leaving everyone with memories that will last a lifetime. They truly have a knack for mesmerising audiences, and their lively performances will have your guests talking long after the last dance.

And don’t worry - we know what you’re thinking. Bagpipes, ALL night? While the band are of the firm belief that you can never have TOO much bagpipes, they understand that weddings need to cater for many tastes. To break up their bagpipe pop sets, they’ll play some of their pipeless tunes throughout the night - so your Uncle Tom the passionate bagpipe hater is a happy man. 

As well as having a busy diary of private functions, the Rollin Drones also frequent many venues in central Scotland for public gigs - so if you fancy checking them out live, drop us a line! Or you could watch some of their live videos, fresh from NYC Tartan Week 2024, right here.

The Rollin Drones also offer several other entertainment options in addition to the evening band set, including solo pipes, a 2-piece keys & vocal set, a ‘Mini Drones’ surprise set or a full pipe band! They can even arrange some accompanying Highland Dancers. Chat with us on 0800 612 3320 to arrange your personalised package!

Hireaband are an exceptional company that made it so easy to organise a band for our wedding, we have recommended them to a lot of people and will do in the future.
Rollindrones!! What can we say? They were amazing!! No one expected a band like them to exist and everyone enjoyed dancing to them. They really made our wedding day go off with a bang! We will, as many guests will, follow them in the future.

Our wedding reception was made by them playing and all of our guests have had nothing but praise for them. From our first dance, the Scottish dancing to our last dance everything was perfect.

We can’t thank the Rollin Drones enough for their performance at our wedding on the 11th of May. So many people have commented on how amazing they were. They created a terrific atmosphere that kept everyone on the dance floor and made the celebrations even more special. We couldn’t have faulted them in any way at all. And all chats prior to the wedding were extremely helpful.

Rollin Drones

Rollin Drones were excellent and such lovely individuals who played fantastic music - a must for any get together of Scottish people, friends and family - the pipes are a brilliant addition.
The service from Hireaband was prompt and professional and I would recommend this service. I can't recommend highly enough the excellent Rollin Drones.

Rollin Drones

The band were amazing. Everyone enjoyed themselves and we are still getting messages from friends and family about how good the night was when the band was playing and how amazing they were! As a couple who met at the Edinburgh tattoo, they were definitely the perfect band for us!

Rollin Drones

Hire a band helped us secure The Rollin Drones for Hogmanay and honestly we were amazed by them. Absolutely stunning band, who nailed all our needs in such short notice. We were only a group of 20 odd but they played something for everyone and talking through my London family how to do a ceilidh it was honestly such a laugh!
Wish we could do it all over again!
Thank you to all the team at Hire a band for making it happen!
Will use again!

Rollin Drones

Rollin’ Drones were the perfect addition to our wedding reception, they had people on the floor all night and had a great mix of songs for all ages!! Would highly recommend them to everyone, absolutely fantastic!! They were even on the dance floor themselves, was a 10/10 performance :D

Rollin Drones

We hired The Rollin Drones to play at our wedding on 30/09/2023 and they were amazing from start to finish.. We didn't want the night to end. They got everyone up on the dancefloor and kept the party going throughout the night. We cannot recommend them enough and our guests spoke so highly of them too. 100 out of 10!!!

Rollin Drones

The band was outstanding, we couldn't have wished for better. It was a mixed age crowd but they played something for everyone and got everyone involved, they accommodated our requests, were flexible with their timings, honestly could not have asked for more. Thank you.

Rollin Drones were absolutely incredible - loved every second of the event, every guest I spoke to loved them, first dance song was perfect, the band themselves were very friendly and funny and really made the night. Could not be happier.

Rollin Drones

I hired the Rollin Drones via hireaband after reading the amazing reviews they had. Both hireaband and the Rollin Drones communication on the run up to the wedding was amazing and they really made me feel at ease. Their performance was immeasurable, the dance floor was bouncing all night and our guests said they were the best wedding band they had ever seen. I would 100% recommend them.

Rollin Drones

The 'Rollin Drones' were honestly the most wonderful addition to our wedding. We could not have asked for a more wonderful band to entertain our guests. Every single guest at our wedding has commented on how wonderful the band was, playing a perfect mix of music to tailor for everyone. Our dance floor was never empty and we are so thankful to have had the most talented performers take the time to perform on our special day.

Rollin Drones

The Rollin Drones were a 10/10 band and made our wedding more special to us than we could've imagined. The band were amazing throughout the night and such a wide variety of music got everyone up and dancing, the dance floor was never empty!
We've had so many positive comments from our guests about The Rollin Drones and the consensus definitely was that they rocked it all night! We couldn't recommend The Rollin Drones enough and definitely hope to come across them in the future!

Rollin Drones

I just wanted to thank you and the band so much for Friday night. You were absolutely amazing and made our night what it was. The dance floor was never empty and everybody has commented on how amazing you were.
We can't thank you enough. I'm excited to see the video footage of the second dance!
Thanks again.
Emma.

Rollin Drones

The band was excellent! They actually had a last minute substitution of their lead vocalist due to illness, but this issue was dealt with professionally and a replacement vocalist was found without any delay. This meant that the issue caused me no additional stress or worry in the lead up to the day. On the night, they played excellently and worked the crowd well. They chose the songs appropriately for the smaller than usual audience and took time explaining the ceilidh dances to our guests from further afield. Everyone was very complimentary of them and said that they were the best wedding band they had heard in ages!

Rollin Drones

Brilliant band, very friendly and had a chat with them before they started playing their set. Amazing musicians, engaged with the wedding guests really well too.

Rollin Drones

I wanted to pass on my thanks to the Rollin Drones for their performance on Friday night at the Team Spirit Charity fundraising event. This band is amazing. They were so enthusiastic, had loads of energy, and the main singer was fantastic. The dance floor was full all night! They were also a pleasure to work with.

Please pass on our thanks. We will definitely recommend them and would happily use them again for a future event.

Thanks for your help sourcing them!
Michelle

Rollin Drones

Rollin' Drones were simply faultless, an epic performance! The communication prior to the wedding was great, and they took on our requests, and then some - they stole the show! Our guests are still talking about how great they were.

Rollin Drones

Outstanding! Booking the Rollin Drones for our wedding was one of the best decisions I made! The dance floor was busy all night and I had so many people comment on how great they were!

Rollin Drones

I thought the band "The Rollin Drones" where class. Everyone at the wedding have been raving about them saying how good they where. Class people and everyone was buzzing when they came off the stage and where dancing on the dance floor and ran a konga line. Great people, great entertainers. Not sure what else to say as I just thought they where top notch.


The website HireaBand was also extremely easy to use and we had no issues. We had great communication from Rachel Cotton and it could not have been an easier process.

Thank you very much
Jordan and Hannah Anderson

Rollin Drones

Hireaband were easy to get in touch with, responded quickly and were helpful.

The Rollin Drones were absolutely fantastic!! The singer was absolutely brilliant and their uniqueness with the piper definitely made them a crowd pleaser! They were kind enough to accommodate our early start time too!

Rollin Drones

The Rollin Drones were incredible! We loved every moment of their performance and all our guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed the band.

Please pass our thanks on to the band for an amazing night!

Rollin Drones

The Rollin Drones were absolutely phenomenal. The number of people who asked us where we got them was surprising. They really set the night on fire!

Rollin Drones

After booking our wedding venue the next thing on our list was to book a band. We knew we wanted a ceilidh and covers band and methodically started going through some band lists. When we landed on the Rollin Drones we both instantly agreed that their sound was amazing and they had a USP we had never seen in a band before—the bagpipes! Having a small venue we were slightly concerned about the noise level but loved their music so much that we decided to (what we thought was taking a risk!) go ahead and book. Booking the Rollin Drones was one of the BEST decisions we made! Prior to our wedding day the contact from both hireaband and the band itself was great and they were more than happy to learn our first dance song—which we could not believe they had just learnt as they were amazing at it! On our wedding day itself they kept the dance floor full all night and made our wedding such a great party. We have had so many comments from our guests about how amazing the band were. We would highly recommend the Rollin Drones and are so glad we booked them for our wedding, thank you so much!

Rollin Drones

The Rollin Drones were absolutely amazing—we are so glad we booked them for our wedding!

Rollin Drones

Both Hireaband and the Rollin Drones were phenomenal. The service received by Hireaband was second to none and the performance by the band was truly amazing. We couldn’t be happier with the way our night went, and our guests haven’t stopped complimenting our choice of entertainment. I would recommend The Rollin Drones to anyone looking for a band to bring energy, talent and a whole lot of personality to any event.

Thank you all so much!

Rollin Drones

Absolutely fantastic! The comments we've had from guests have been great. They made our wedding so enjoyable for everyone and were very interactive with the crowd. 10 out of 10.

Rollin Drones

Rollin' Drones were absolutely fantastic at our wedding and we cannot recommend them more highly! Hireaband made the booking process so easy and answered any questions/queries we had really quickly and efficiently. All the guests absolutely loved the bagpipes and it was a great surprise. I was worried on the lead up to the wedding that the bagpipes might be too loud/overwhelming but I couldn't have been more wrong- the guy playing the pipes was AMAZING and added so much fun to the evening. We had a Scottish/Irish wedding and had booked Irish dancers (Siamsoir) to come on in the band's break for a 15 minute set- they liased before and worked so well together. Ryan and I had the BEST night and just want to say a huge thank you to the band. If you're thinking about booking them for your wedding or event then do it!! x

Rollin Drones

The band were amazing! Everyone at the wedding commented on how good they were! Thank you so much for a great night!!

Rollin Drones

Very smooth and easy process on booking. Ruth and I can’t thank the band highly enough for there input in our special day. Very friendly group with a wide variety of music. We can’t praise them highly enough they were awesome. People are still talking about them a week later and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others who are thinking of booking them. Get it done, worth every penny!!

Rollin Drones

Rollin Drones were amazing! Exactly as expected and had the whole room up on the dance floor. Communication with the band was brilliant and they even learnt a new song just for us. Highly recommend the band and Hireaband.

The Rollin' Drones were fantastic!

Rollin Drones

Contact from both Hireaband and the band themselves was great. Very easy to deal with and a great performance was received!

Rollin Drones

The Rollin’ Drones were absolutely fantastic. We couldn’t fault a single thing. The band did a brilliant job at customising our first dance song for us. They brought high energy and a superb set list that kept our guests dancing all night. The dance floor was packed from start to finish with guests of all age ranges. The addition of the bag pipes was a great surprise for our guests and everyone loved the mix of modern songs and ceilidh dances. Their interaction with the crowd throughout was second to none.

Can’t recommend the Rollin’ Drones highly enough - absolute top quality! Thank you so much.

Rollin Drones

Booking through Hireaband was brilliant, very helpful when we had to change things due to Covid. The Rollin Drones were fantastic, great music and lovely people.

The Rollin Drones were absolutely fantastic from the planning of our wedding through to the actual day. So easy to work with and were very flexible to all our requests, also did a brilliant job learning our first dance song which they played perfectly.
Great entertainment throughout our night and a joy to have for our big day, would certainly recommend.
Thank you so much, Derek and Nicola

Rollin Drones

We cannot thank Rollin' Drones enough for the incredible performance at our wedding! From start to finish they had everyone dancing (it was full all night) and the Ceilidh section in the middle was a great extra and really got everyone involved and on their feet. The mix of music was fantastic and the added bonus of the bagpipes really elevated the evening and gave us the Scottish wedding experience we wanted.

Rollin Drones

Thank you so much for playing at our weddingm you were incredible. All of our guests absolutely loved the bagpipes, such a great surprise. The whole experience was just fantastic and everyone had the best time. You were all so accommodating with our requests and even created a dedicated playlist with all of our favourite songs for during the break. Not only that, you learnt our first dance song within a matter of weeks and it was perfect. You created a night we will never forget and it just topped off the best day ever. Thank you so much.

Rollin Drones

Just to say I have loved dealing with Gaye from Hireaband and the Rollin Drones were amazing and such lovely people. We were so so happy with them. They really made our daughter's wedding so many many thanks!

Rollin Drones

We had the most AMAZING evening! Thank you all so much for your time and effort! We just loved you and you really made our wedding!

Rollin Drones

The Rollin Drones were the most perfect wedding band to top off our incredible day.
Mike and the whole team were a joy to work with from the moment we chose them and everything was so seamless.
Their music with Scottish tweaks had everyone on the dance floor all night and we would have kept dancing long into the early hours if we could have done!!

Thank you so so much! You guys were truly awesome!

Rollin Drones

Rollin Drones

The Rolling Drones were absolutely fantastic and made our night at our wedding. They were truly a spectacular band and performed to a high standard. They sang specific song requests, had everyone enjoying themselves and were super entertainment. Would highly recommend this band to anyone looking for a great night. Special thanks to Mike for liasing with me about our big day.

Rollin Drones

This is the 4th time I have booked the Rollin Drones and they did not disappoint! Their performance on the night was incredible, the bagpipes add an extra element that just keeps everyone on the floor dancing all night.
They also did some really great ceilidh tracks and fun variations which just made the night really special.
Heather's vocals are fantastic and the band are all really lovely, communication was fantastic and the set up on the night was really efficient. One of my friends did a performance and the band helped him get his guitar and mic all set up too which was so kind of them!

I would not hesitate to recommend this band, they are fantastic!

Rollin Drones

Thank you so much for performing at our wedding! We all had such a great time, everyone said how much they enjoyed the band. The Ceilidh (or, our very poor attempt at a Ceilidh!) really made our evening. I was really fussy when it came to choosing a band, we didn't want anything standard that we could see anywhere else, and The Rollin Drones really delivered that something special to our evening!

Rollin Drones

You guys were AWSOME on Saturday night !!! Thanks sooooooo much for helping to make it such a great night! We had masses of comments and feedback from the guests about how amazing the band were.
They were very flexible and so friendly both before and at the party. Mike phoned and spoke to me beforehand to organise everything and ask if we had any requests. They totally made the party - I can't recommend them more highly.

Rollin Drones

Thanks again to the Rollin' Drones, you were absolutely fantastic and you kept the dance floor jumping all night! Thanks again, we had the best time! ❤

Rollin Drones

Great service from start to finish. Everyone loved the Rollin Drones, great guys and a brilliant performance.
