Drop of a Hat Ceilidh Band

	Drop of a Hat Ceilidh Band Music & Dancing for Weddings, Birthdays and Anniversaries	eeeee
	What is a Ceilidh? Traditionally a Ceilidh is a celebratory gathering with music and dancing and as such is similar to an American Barn Dance. Drop of a Hat play traditional Irish, Scottish and American Old Time tunes for a wide variety of traditional dances. Most of the dance steps are simple and easily learnt, but since most people don't know them, Drop of a Hat uses a caller to give instructions. Before the dance starts, the caller will talk you through it whilst you walk the steps, then prompt you throughout the dance to keep you in the right place. The mix is excellent for weddings, parties, birthdays, anniversaries, fund raising and similar occasions since it ensures a wide range of ages and abilities will have fun together.
	I don't know if I'll like it........ Everyone who has been to a Ceilidh will tell you they had a great time as I hope this short clip indicates! Ceilidh in action!
