Dè th’ ann a cèilidh? (What’s a Celidh?) Danny Bhoy explains it so well, I’ll let him do the job. (Warning: There is an f*bomb or two) Now here’s what a real celeidh looks like: It’s an old video but it shows the formal way to do the Dashing White Sergeant. Now I’ll show you…

This video makes me smile every time I watch it. Charlie McKerron the fiddler in the video, just happens to the be the world’s greatest fiddler. AND he graciously answered hours of questions from me for my next novel. You can also find him if you search Capercaile and Session A9.

Five Celtic Music Videos you should definitely watch. In no particular order of greatness. Oban High School Pipe Band Runrig: Alba (Alba is Gaelic for Scotland)  Capercaillie – Coisich A Ruin
