Dear First name / Ceilidh Ninja, What a summer season it's been🎉 I’ve had the pure joy o' bein' involved in some truly magical weddings this year, all over the country. We've celebrated four 40th (ruby) wedding anniversaries, a bunch of special birthdays – 18th, 21st, 40th – and even an 80th for an absolute legend! Plus, we squeezed in some festivals tae keep the craic going. This photo here, from a wedding at Whirlow Hall Farm near Sheffield, back in July sums up this year's ceilidhs perfectly. Guests dancin' their hearts oot, wi’ my comedy hats causin’ a lot o' mischief and pure daft fun! 😄 |

As the temperature cools and autumn starts tae settle in, we’ve got a whole new ceilidh season tae look forward tae. I’ve still got plenty of weddings and parties on the books before the Hogmanay belles ring🔔 in. Our regular Beeston (Nottingham) and Birmingham ceilidhs are in the diary, with more popping up every week! Pencil these dates in for the next few months, and keep yer eyes peeled – you'll get first dibs on new ceilidhs before they go live on social media. For some of these events you can just rock up tae, but a few will need tickets in advance. If you’re nae sure, give me a shout, and I'll confirm it for you! See you on the dance floor!🎶 |
