Gaily Ceilidh Manchester!
About this Event
Dancing, team games, live music, kilts! Kick those January blues with Gaily Ceilidh!
Each January, Scots across the world join together for a Burns Supper to celebrate the life and work of one of their most famous bards, Robert Burns - Rabbie, if you're nasty.
This year, join Venn Smyth for a modern and queer take on the celebration at The Brewers on Canal Street in Manchester.
And what is a ceilidh, you might ask? Basically, getting tossed around the dancefloor in some set dances – don’t worry we’ll teach you the moves! We’ll introduce you to the Gay Gordons, a Dashing White Sergeant and even teach you how to Strip the Willow!
Whether it’s sharing a good laugh with friends or dancing with a beautiful stranger, a ceilidh is a fun-filled get-together that will warm up even the darkest months. Throw your caution, and your kilt, to the wind!
What our previous Gaily Ceilidh go-ers have said:
“So Good!”
“A fab show”
“Was distracted by you all in kilts”
“Really fun, glad we came!”
“Did not expect to be ceilidh dancing this January, but I loved it!”
Venn Smyth is a Scottish singer-songwriter, performer, writer and producer, who has put on shenanigans across the UK and Europe. His own brand of queer pop music has reached No.1 on the LGBTQ Music Chart more than once and has taken him to Brighton’s Voice of Broadway, London Pride’s Got Talent and Una Voce per San Marino. When not teaching ceilidh dancing, he’s to be found cruising the seven seas (and performing on cruise ships).
