Article Category: Recreation

Author Name: Sarah Boys

The original meaning of Ceilidhs would be a Gaelic party with folk music and dancing and took place Scotland and Ireland. They were opportunities for the young adults to court and select future marriage partners and were the principle social outlet for rural communities of Ireland and Scotland. They would be located in informal settings for example pubs, village halls as well as outdoors.

Ceilidh bands can include a variety of instruments and typically are composed of fiddles, accordion, bodhran and tin whistles. More recently drums, various guitars, banjos and bass may possibly be added or substituted.
Dancing at ceilidhs mostly is made up of set dancing where couples join a set of may be four or five other couples in a line, square or circle. Dancers may keep the same partner during the dance or it may be progressive where the partners separate during the dance and move to a new dance to form new couples. This can make Ceilidhs very sociable events and good mixers for any group who are unfamiliar with each other.

Often young children are introduced to ceilidh dancing in school by means of country dancing where the can find out the basics of promenading, right hand and left hand stars, stripping the willow and quite often the Gay Gordons. Re-introduced to Ceilidhs as adults they overcome their reticence for dancing and soon recall the fun that can be had with this sociable activity.

Ceilidh dances that might be remembered from your youth are The Flying Scotsman, The Virginia Reel, The Gay Gordons, The Dashing White Sergeant, Lucky Seven, The Circassian Circle as well as the most often asked for dance The Cumberland Square Eight (you most likely remember that one for 'the basket' in which the men in a mixed circle spin round and the ladies feet gradually leave the floor).

Dancing is a very enjoyable way of keeping fit and those that try out a Ceilidh will realise how energetic Ceilidh dancing may be. The Ceilidh band will also be kept busy with playing three or four tunes per dance set and can set the pace for the dancing. As the dancers become more proficient the band may decide to play more quickly adding more energy to the dance and generally setting an exciting atmosphere for the event. So as well as having an outrageously sociable evening you will also supplment your fitness along the way.

Ceilidh bands may be hired for many forms of events for example weddings, milestone birthdays, fund-raising and socials. Hullabaloo is a typical ceilidh band that consists of a fiddle, banjo and bass and it has been playing for events within the South East of England, mainly in Berkshire, Surrey and Hampshire.
