St. Patrick’s Day Ceili

St. Paul’s is sponsoring an Irish dance Ceili at St. Paul’s , 12 Pine Street on Friday March 14 from 2 to 5 pm. There will be dancing from 2 to 3:30 followed by a delicious tea. Lively music provided by local musicians, Fiddlers Plus.

If you like to dance, novices are welcome. Eithne Dunbar will guide you in six simple and well known Ceili dances:

The Walls of Limerick
The Siege of Ennis
The Bridge of Athlone
Peeler and the Goat
The Haymakers Jig
Two-Handed Hornpipe.

You can find many examples of these dances on video via Youtube. Just google the name of the dance as in “The Walls of Limerick dance video”. (Scottish country dancers will recognize most of the figures in the Haymakers Jig, which includes the Strip the Willow figure)

Spectators can enjoy the upbeat music.

At 3:30 Dancing will give way to a performance by Fiddlers Plus who will be playing while we enjoy tea and refreshments.

It would help us to know how many to expect for tea which is provided by St. Paul’s Church so please let me know if you plan to come.

Looking forward to an afternoon of music and dancing.
