What is the Ceilidh Club? It's a place where
you can get a wee bit of Scotland in London. Established in 1998
it has grown from a handful of friends and family into something
bigger with ceilidhs every couple of weeks.
What's a ceilidh and how do you pronounce
it? A ceilidh ('kay-lee') is the Gaelic word for
gathering. If anyone can remember the days before the
internet, multichannel TV, mobis, DVDs, laptops, bluetooth,
wireless and the rest, the main form of interaction between people
was dancing, singing, music, poems and storytelling. The
Ceilidh Club tries to recreate this.
Don't you just do dancing? Mostly we
do, but through publishing ventures and online presence we try to
span the other aspects as well. Also we are always
looking for new acts, either to play at the Ceilidh Club or to be
included on our performers and contacts page. If you want more
info please contact ed_at_ceilidhclub_dot_com
Do I need to know the steps?
No. There is a caller who will talk you through the
moves. It's fun, hot and exhilarating. It's great
for absolute beginners or experts.
What sort of people go? All sorts:
Scottish and all the nationalities under the sun. We are delighted
so many people from so many different countries want to come
along. Although most people are 22-49 the Ceilidh attracts people
from all age groups, from babes in prams to great grandmothers.
It's about attitude not age.
How much are tickets? They are usually
£12.50 and £6. Singles' Ceilidhs cost £14.50. Burns Night
tickets will cost £20 / £10 concession (you need to have proof of
concession). The price includes complimentary haggis, neeps
and tatties, piping in of the haggis and the address to the
haggis.
Should I book in advance? Yes. The ceilidhs
are now very popular and some sell out. If you are coming in a
group or are arriving late or just want peace of mind then we
advise booking in advance. You can find more info on booking
here www.ceilidhclub.com. There's a 10% booking fee when
you buy online and your name and ticket allocation will be on
the door.
Where is it held? Cecil Sharp
House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY and Hammersmith
Town Hall, King's Street. We are constantly looking for new
venues and if you know of anywhere with a big dance-floor then let
us know.
Do you have tickets on the door? Yes,
there are always some tickets for sale on the door for our regular
nights. They go on sale at 7:15 on a first come first
served basis. Concession tickets are only available
on the door. You also get £1 off the full door price if you
wear a significant amount of tartan. If we have any unsold tickets
for the Singles' Ceilidhs these will be for sale on the door.
Check with ed_at_ceilidhclub_dot_com for more
info.
What should I wear? Something comfy as
you're going to get hot. Ladies - you may find an ankle strap on
your shoe comes in handy.
What is the schedule for the night? Doors
open at 7:15. Dancing starts at 8 and finishes at 11. There's a
cloakroom, a well priced bar and often a raffle.
I hear you support art and publish
books as well. Yes we try to cover other media, you can find
