This was a family ceilidh for a fairly new community arts organisation called Arts and Culture in Ardchattan. There was maybe not as many folk there as we the organisers would have hoped, but those that did come were full of enthusiasm. In-between the dancing there was an ‘open-mic’ feature with an excellent selection of performances from young, local musicians, singers and dancers. A special mention should be made for a very young laddie (maybe 6 years old) from the North East who ave a fine performance of Katie Bairdie.
We wish this fledgling organisation all the best for the future and would ask that you can supprt hem in the future by attending their events. I don’t think they have a website yet but I will add a link as soon as they have one.

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.
