SCMA ceili Apr 14, 2007

bonfire dance at the scma ceiliThere was a really small group this month (where was everyone else?) and we were one musician short (Allison dropped her keyboard! 🙂 ) but everyone had a fun time. The music was played by Mimi Rogers with calling by me and Susan.

We had a few new people at the beginning so we started with the Rakes of Mallow and then moved on to a Scottish dance, the Cumberland Reel followed by several figures from the Caledonian Set.

Mimi didn’t know the music for the Cumberland Reel before the ceili and picked it up from sheet music Susan printed ahead of time. Great job Mimi.

For the last dance of the evening we did the Bonfire Dance with Mimi as the bonfire.

More pictures (and video once I capture it) at the ceili gallery.
