First things first, let's apologise for not being good at posting on Instagram as of late. We got caught up in the Christmas/New Year madness! But now, we are back and I (Keli) promise to be better in the run up to busy wedding season. One important day from 2020 so far that I would like to share with you all is one that happened a couple of weeks ago. I got tagged in a post on FB that went viral about Hazel. Hazel had been courageously battling against cancer for 6 years, and even after receiving a terminal diagnosis would not let that stop her dream of a wedding with all her friends and family present. Hazel's amazing friends and family managed to do it all in a week with the help of generous donations from the public and anyone who knows how crazy planning a wedding is, that's an insanely big task! When this post came to our attention we gladly offered our services to try and give this lady the best wedding day possible, and we were honoured and humbled to be chosen. Because it was short notice, we banded together some old members (Lissa and Lewis) and new (Dale) to bring The Jets to Hazel and Johnathan on their big day. In the most heartbreaking turn of events, Hazel passed just hours before her wedding was due to take place. However, to honour Hazel and her memory, the celebrations went ahead so everyone could celebrate Hazel and her life. We showed up to play party tunes and fill the room with Hazel's favourite music. Watching the dance floor fill for Hazel's favourite ceilidh dance, The Dashing White Sergeant, was one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen. It was an honour to celebrate Hazel and her life and our hearts are with her friends and family who stopped at nothing to give her the perfect day. She was so lucky to have you all. Rest in peace, Hazel. All our love, The Jets 🖤 https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10857899/terminally-ill-bride-dies-after-six-year-cancer-fight/amp/

We had the pleasure of kicking off Brewhemia's Christmas celebrations this weekend.... Listen to those beautiful voices! We'll be back at Brewhemia on the 5th of December to carry on the Christmas festivities. See you then, Edinburgh! 🎅☃️🎄🎶

Well, Ireland, you were a bloody hoot! We set off to Dublin this weekend for the wonderful wedding of Lauren and Daniel at the stunning @rathsallaghhouse which could maybe be one of the most fun crowds we have ever played for 🇮🇪💃!!! List of Irish things we did: - bought Guiness - drunk Guiness - spoke in bad Irish accents - partied with the Irish List of non-Irish things we did: - Scottish Ceilidh dancing - Iranian dancing - Titanic reinactments - playing Overcooked on the ferry's PS4 Was well worth the long drive - we can't wait to see where we end up next! 😍

Want to ruin friendships in your band? Play Goldeneye on N64 during the break 😂 As you can see, Freya was not happy about the results, and Simon was taking it far too seriously. We managed to resolve the conflict over a pint however. Oh, the perks of playing in a beautiful Brewery! Thanks to Chris and Shazia for having us play your special day! It was a wonderfully fun evening! 👰💍🍻🏩

🤯🤯🤯 It's been a wild couple of weeks! As we head down to Newcastle for our first gig of the weekend, we reminisce on how many great crowds we have played for over the last fortnight! What more could we ask for? Avacado costumes, "here we fucking go" chants to Blink 182, beautiful sing-a-longs to some Teenage Dirtbag, VERY bright coloured shirts (as demonstrated in the first video of this post), and espresso martinis. Congratulations to all our beautiful couples. It was a blast being part of every single one of your days. Love, The ✈️s

✨ 'cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby like yoOoOoOou✨ Busy busy busy! Last weekend we hit both ends of the country. First we hit Dumfries for Mary & Derek's wedding at the stunning GG's Yard and second we hit Inverurie at the lovely Thainstone House to help celebrate the new Mr & Mrs Duncan! Both nights were a blast filled with fireworks and funky dance moves... But more importantly, beautiful singing as demonstrated above. 😜

📸🎭🤡 Our Photo Booth has been in high demand this summer! 🤡🎭📸 Last night we were in Dundee for Mr & Mrs McCourt's special day! Drop us a message if you would like to have the Scottie Booth at your wedding or event 📨

Couple of weekends ago, our fiddle player Freya showed us around her hometown! We had some time to kill between our gigs in Aberdeen so we got ice cream and pictures of pretty flowers 😍 Congratulations to the newlyweds, The Moirs and the Simpsons, on their wedding! Also... LOOK AT THAT CAKE. 🐛

So a couple of weeks ago, we were stunned to walk into Mr and Mrs Chan's wedding to find out the one and only James McAvoy was a guest at their wedding 🤯🤯🤯! It was safe to say we were nervous! Swipe to see if you can spot James enjoying our Gay Gordon's 🙊🎻. Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Chan! Your wedding was beautiful and your guests were so much fun, we had a blast watching everyone boogie. Have you ever attended a wedding with a famous person?!

Busy summer wedding season checklist: - surprise firework displays - surprise sunshine - surprise dog wedding guests - surprise selfies (sorry Phil) The next live showcase will take place at St Luke's in Glasgow on the 20th of August. Showcase kicks off at 7.30pm. See you there!

What a busy summer we've been having! It's such a blast travelling all over to come help you celebrate such a special day. We love watching all the guests we play for getting involved with the band and music in some way - look at that huge line for Sit Down and piles of people on the dancefloor in different venues! It makes our job all that more wonderful. Congratulations to the beautiful couples who we've been lucky to play for over the summer so far - we are ready for the rest of them! 💒💍👰🎉🎊💃 #band #live #livemusic #music #musicforscotland #mfsltd #musicians #weddingband #functionband #scotland #scottish #edinburgh #glasgow #wedding #dancing #party #balbirnie #grandcentralhotel #song #dance #ceilidh #liveceilidh #ceilidhband #malevocals #femalevocals

So, we see so many of you hitting the dancefloor with signature moves like The Worm™ and The Slug™ so when we had some time before our gig at The Fairmont, Keli, Freya and Simon thought we'd give it a bash to see what the fuss was. 😜 At least Freya could do the worm.... 4.52/10 all round for effort.

We're becoming regulars at good old @seamillhydrohotel 😜 Congratulations to the lovely Mark and Laura on your big day! It was a pleasure to be part of it. Ps: look at those Seamill views 😍🌊

First dances, Ferraris and the Fairmont! Congratulations, Iain and Shona on your big day! We hope you had the most wonderful time celebrating your new marriage ❤️

Last week we were either rehearsing your first dances, choosing our showcase material or playing your weddings! Here's some pictures from what we were up to the day of the Chadwick's wedding at Dalduff Farm in Ayr! We had so much fun having such a vocal crowd - thanks for being such wonderful singers. Massive thanks to everyone who came down to the Music For Scotland showcase last night! It was wonderful to meet you all. Keep an eye out on our social media for details of when you can next see the band play live! 👰💒 #band #live #livemusic #music #musicforscotland #mfsltd #musicians #weddingband #functionband #scotland #scottish #edinburgh #glasgow #daldufffarm #wedding #dancing #party

One of our favourite parts of the job? Watching your questionable dance moves 😜! Top marks for the worm/beached whale impression. We've been a regular at Seamill Hydro over the last month! One of these times we entertained the guests of Louise and Ally 🥰🌈! Thanks for having us again and congratulations! ♥️💜💙💚💛🧡

What an amazing crowd of guests! Thank you to everyone at the beautiful wedding of the new Mr & Mrs Barr for being an absolute pleasure to play for! And for being pro ceilidh dancers 🎻. We hope you enjoy your amazing sounding honeymoon! 🌴
