Rennie Pearson and United Vibrations Present...
A Celtic Soirée!
Join us for an unforgettable evening of heart-lifting Celtic music, joyous dancing, and nourishing food/drink to warm your winter spirit.
This lively celebration features a high-energy Céilidh (pronounced "kay-lee") – a traditional Gaelic social gathering filled with group dancing, spirited music, and inclusive fun for all experience levels. Whether you're an experienced dancer or trying it for the first time, you'll be guided through the steps and welcomed onto the dance floor.
Live music from two incredible acts:
Half Light deliver bold, hypnotic, original Celtic music with soaring flutes, whistles, mesmerising guitar, and rich pedal textures. Their live shows blend toe-tapping jigs, reels, and powerful songs with high-octane energy and emotional depth. Featuring flute virtuoso Rennie Pearson and award-winning guitarist Bob McNeill, Half Light bring an intimate concert act that is full of class and finesse.
Rough Town – Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Rough Town is a powerhouse ensemble on a mission to ignite the folk scene with their fun, infectious blend of traditional tunes and irresistible grooves.
Grasping the universal elements of dance music with both hands, and encouraging their audiences to bridge the gap between Irish dancing, ceilidh dancing, and club dancing, Rough Town is a continuation of the modern Trad Disco movement, drawing inspiration from iconic bands like Four Winds, The East Pointers, Imar, and Lunasa.
To keep you refreshed throughout the night, there will be a cash bar serving a selection of local drinks and a food stall with hearty, delicious fare perfect for a winter's evening.
