In 1991 a few friends gathered to enjoy a nice dinner. The evening turned to story, song and poetry and a tradition began. When we came across the Scottish Gaelic word "Ceilidh" we gave our gatherings a name. A Ceilidh is a night of food, poetry, song and sometimes dancing. The same type of evening could be labeled hootenanny, swarp or many other names but ceilidh seemed to fit just fine.
Over the years the Ceilidh Group has grown and in 2008 friends and fellow artists collaborated to produce a family CD called "Isn't It a Wonder". It contains 24 songs by 20 local artists. All proceeds from the CD go to children's charities. The Little Bird division of the Ceilidh Group hopes to produce another by 2010. We still gather to share music and we now have "Get Outta Here's". These GOH's will be posted on this site. We will add past GOH's as well.
We also host house concerts. Those, too, will be blogged.
Thanks for checking us out. Enjoy.
