Ceilidh, Irish Band
|
A good ceilidh or barndance lasts for about three hours, with a break in the middle to give your guests a chance to catch their breath. Food-wise, a hog roast or ploughman's supper fits well with this style of entertainment. Alternatively a more informal mix of tunes and sing-along songs is guaranteed to to create an excellent party atmosphere. |
