Best Before Midnight is an excellent, five-piece ceilidh/rock band featuring vocals, electric lead and bass guitars, electro-accoustic guitar, , drums, keyboards and fiddle.

The band uses an eclectic mixture of traditional ceilidh tunes, ceilidh tunes with funky and catchy arrangements unique to Best Before Midnight, and ceilidh tunes such as "The Broken Chair" "The Cuckoos nest" and "Gillians Muckle Lochan" written and arranged by band members. This mix of music ensures no two sets are alike, music for each dance being vibrant unexpected and different.

The band's caller is ex three times Senior Scottish Highland Dancing champion and also principal and choreographer of her own Highland Dancing School. Accompanied by Ronnie and Craig from Best Before Midnight, and an assortment of other musicians, she and her dancers have appeared in the USA, at many festivals in France, Majorca, Germany, Italy, Galicia, Astouria, Ireland, Wales, England, Belgium, and twice in Taiwan.

And when you tire of ceilidh dancing or would like a change of mood, Best before Midnight will slip into a set of polished pop classics, Rock and Roll, and modern covers. Or perhaps you will jus want to listen for a while, to Best Before Midnights' Celtic Folk/Rock music

Help! How do I play these music files?

It's easy! Just double-click on the link and Windows Media Player (or whatever music player you have installed on your PC) should run and start playing the music file within a few seconds. Make sure you have your speakers plugged in and switched on.

If you have a Broadband internet connection (which is very fast), then the music files should play very smoothly straight away.

However, if you have a standard "Dialup" connection (your modem dials up to allow you to make the connection to the internet) then you will find the music file stops and starts all the time. This is because your PC music player is trying to stream or play the music as it downloads to your hard drive but your internet connection isn't fast enough to play the music smoothly.

If that is what is happening to you, then all you have to do is let the music stagger through once (it is downloading as this is happening) and then it will play at full speed after that. You can then listen to the the music file as many times as you want.

Alternatively, you can download the mp3 first and play it from your Hard Drive. To do this, just right-click on the mp3 link and select "Save target as" from the drop-down menu.

You can then save the mp3 file to your Desktop or any other folder of your choice.

When the mp3 file is completely downloaded, double-click on it and it will play immediately on Windows Media player or whatever music player you have installed.

We hope that has helped you. If not, just give us a ring on 0141 577 6604 and we'll talk you through it.

We're here to help you in any way we can.
