News in brief...
Milestone Cèilidh!
The
Edinburgh Gaelic community's 'S Math Sin ceilidh on Friday
27th March at the Assembly Rooms was a memorable one, attracting a
large audience, some coming from as far afield as Barra, Inverness,
Harris and even Germany and the USA. With great music, dancing to
the fantastic Black Rose Ceilidh Band, a superb atmosphere
and the chance to be among friends, the night was hailed a huge
success by all.
"This shows that Edinburgh can host major Gaelic events, and has the
potential to provide a much bigger focus for the Gaelic community",
said one commentator. The evening also raised funds for future
initiatives for the Gaelic community, children and young people. Many
thanks to all our [sponsors].
Part of Edinburgh's [Ceilidh Culture] Festival.
