This ceilidh was for a private party celebrating a joint 25th birthday.
It was our first ceilidh in the new Seil Island Village Hall on the island of Seil, North Argyll. There was a good turnout and we had dancers on the floor for every dance. The guests worked up a head of steam and we finished with a good-going, up-tempo Orcadian Strip the Willow. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »
