the ceilidh bandidos

This dance (in The Victory Hall, Benderloch, Argyll) was a bonfire night celebration for some of the members of the Caledonian Harley Davidson Club although it was open to the public. The organisers were very friendly and we were invited for dinner before the gig. Everyone then went off to the beach for some fireworks, unfortunately the weather was miserable.

At the start of the gig everyone was afraid of the dance floor so we ‘made like gypsies’ and wandered amongst them playing acoustically. It took folks a wee while to get warmed up, but once they started dancing they kept on till the end.

The Victory Hall a rediculously high stage (you wouldn’t want to fall off this one) and the acoustics are quite difficult. The sound really bounces off the back wall and leaves everything sounding muddy.
