Ceilidh The Edge 8:30 PM 25 May 2012 | Anti Exam Blues Ceilidh To much revision? To many exams? Stressed? You need a break! Come and have a good dance at our Ceilidh. Music is provided by one of CeilidhSoc’s incomparable scratch bands. The interval spot will be the relaxing sounds of the Sheffield Eurosession. Remember, it’s been proven by experts that aerobic exercise is good for the brain as well as reducing stress. Tickets are the usual price (£4, or £3 for members before 9pm) and a reminder; please don’t BYOB, as the Edge bar will as usual serve drinks and provide water free of charge. | ||

Ceilidh The Edge 8:30 PM 8 Jun 2012 | The MONSTER End of year Ceilidh with the MONSTER CEILIDH BAND!!!! Prepare yourself for a feast of cross-genre ceilidh music from those juggernauts of traditional folk drum and bass. It’s going to be dark, sexy with lots of glow sticks. Calling by CeilidhSoc’s own John Brown! Don’t miss it! Check out their website here. If that wasn’t enough, there will be an interval spot by The Outside Capering Crew with their English morris dancing for the 21st Century: sometimes flashy, sometimes comic, and always with exhilarating music. What a great way to end the year! See you there!

Regular Events
| Ceilidh Music Workshop 8:00 – 9:00 pm Every Tuesday during term time The Three Cranes |
Ben our music officer or guest teachers will be running regular workshops in The Three Cranes before the session helping people learn some of the tunes that are played at Ceildihs and at The Three Cranes sessions. It is intended for people who are new to folk music or not confident enough to play in sessions yet. Basic knowledge of your instrument is helpful, but no experience of folk music is required! There are also some tune books available for purchase for you to take away and practice in your own time (while stocks last). | ||

| Session 9:00pm onwards Every Tuesday The Three Cranes |
The Ceilidhsoc session has a new venue! It is now held at The Three Cranes (74 Queen Street) at 9pm every Tuesday. Musicians and non-musicians are all welcome. The session is a great opportunity for those new and old members of the society to get together to chat, play music and swap tunes. | ||
