Yes, I agree. I haven't done it a great deal, but every time I do I
thoroughly enjoy it. Edinburgh band Auld Spice are doing a number of
ceilidh workshops at St Colm's church, Dalry Road, Edinburgh. First
one's on Wednesday 1st Oct, 2-4 (I think). Anyone who fancies a bit of
a dance in the afternoon should definitely turn up.
