Crowded Croft

Ceilidh / Covers

Ceilidh and covers band from right here in Helensburgh. Since 2004, Crowded Croft have been the go-to act for weddings, parties, and festivals across Scotland. Expect infectious fiddle-driven ceilidh sets alongside foot-stomping rock and pop covers — the perfect Saturday afternoon band.

Man from DelMonte

Covers / Function

One of Scotland’s most entertaining live acts. Fronted by the irrepressible Gez on vocals and guitar, Man from DelMonte bring a massive setlist covering rock, Motown, pop, and Scottish favourites — but nothing sounds quite like you’d expect. Guest interaction, crowd requests, and genuine musical firepower make this the band that turns a good night into a great story.

O'Cajunals

Folk / Celtic / Cajun

Joe Quinn & The O’Cajunals bring their distinctive blend of folk, Celtic, and Cajun sounds straight from Glasgow. Infectious rhythms and lively melodies — perfect fuel for a Saturday afternoon with a real ale in hand.
