Our final ceilidh of the winter season was definitely one to remember. We had pipers, we had dancers, we had singers, we had musicians and we had a storyteller! The evening was opened by the fantastic Aaron Hossain and his talented quartet of pipers, Ewan, Mark, Alasdair B and Alasdair C. We loved this format and we wish them every success in New York at tartan week and the Carnegie Hall 😮 What can we say about the brave wee dancers, many of them performing their pas de basque for the first time. They did it!! Well done to you all 🥰 Our dancers were Gracie, Sophie, Lily, Olivia, Megan, Naomi, Annie and Kenna.
Our main crew of the night were the fabulous prize winning small harmony group Na Seudan. What talent amongst you - we had a waulking song, puirt a beul, tunes from Sweden, Scotland and Brittany, a special appearance from Duncan MacDonald singing a Mull song with his daughter Isla, solos and duets, a singalong set of ceilidh songs, fiddle and piano accompaniment from Ruth and Eilidh and a fabulous story about a giant from Rena who is a storyteller at the Scottish Crannog Centre. I think we will all remember it when the first midges come out! Thank you to Na Seudan members Julie- Anne Macfadyen, Ruth Lunny, Ruth Wells, Eilidh Munro, Miriam Stirling, Rena Gertz, Anna Roberts and Isla Neos. We are so grateful you made the trip to perform for us. Thank you to our Bean an Taighe Joy Dunlop who also joined in the ceilidh medley and gave such great encouragement to the wee ones! Thanks as ever to our friends in the kitchen and on the door and to you all for supporting the ceilidhs this season 🎶 We will see you again soon!
