Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Main Auditorium
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.
The first ever ceilidh to grace the main auditorium of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall – duly stripped of seats in preparation to give you a chance to don your very best dancing shoes – featuring arguably the finest band ever to lead off a St Bernard’s Waltz, exclusively assembled to greet Burns’ 250th birthday.
A truly formidable accordion frontline features the Fabulous Borsini Brothers themselves, Phil Cunningham and Donald Shaw, together with Fergie MacDonald, Alasdair MacCuish and Gary Innes. Also leading the charge will be fiddlers Charlie McKerron, Allan Henderson, Eilidh Shaw, and Archie McAllister, powered by the dream-team dance-band rhythm section of pianist Tom Orr, bassist Alasdair MacLeod and drummer Fraser MacInnes.
As befitting the occasion, this will be a ceilidh in the word’s fullest musical and convivial sense, with pauses in the dancing for some surprise special-guest turns, and for sampling the doubtless mighty craic around the main hall.
