What is a Ceilidh?

Originally the word Ceilidh (kay-lee) descended from the Gaelic word for ‘gathering’ or ‘party’… However, these days when people think of a Ceilidh, they think of a fun filled night of wild dancing, good music and great company! 

The beauty of a ceilidh or Barn Dance is that everyone can take part, young or old, experienced dancers to beginners and even those with two left feet!

Some people are nervous on the dance floor, but with a Ceilidh you’re walked through the steps so there’s nothing to be worried about! …and with Licence to Ceilidh’s unique combination of traditional tunes with modern funky rhythm section, musically there’s something for everyone! 

No experience is necessary!
