Nathaniel Gow\u2019s Dance Band: Ceilidh Nights reimagine the 18th-century ceilidh, in a four-part series running from 14 December to 27 March in Glasgow venues The Glad Cafe and \u00d2ran M\u00f3r.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the father of the Scottish dance band, Nathaniel Gow, Concerto Caledonia collaborates with some of the creative powerhouses of Scottish traditional music, including fiddlers Lauren MacColl, Shona Mooney and Marie Fielding, as well as viola player, dancer and Scots Trad Awards 2015 Instrumentalist of the Year Mairi Campbell. The band performs acoustically, on gut-strung fiddles, cello, and Scottish small-pipes, recreating the sounds and techniques of the 18th century.
\nCallers Mairi Campbell and the irrepressible dancer\/guitarist Steve Player will lead the audience through a range of strathspeys, reels, quicksteps and country dances. Dance steps and music are taken from 18th-century Scottish sources, brought to life through a tapestry of traditions and styles, with the energy of a modern Scottish ceilidh. Nathaniel Gow\u2019s Dance Band: Ceilidh Nights are supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland\u2019s Open Project Fund.<\/p>\n
Creative Scotland\u2019s Head of Music Alan Morrison said: \u201cCreative Scotland is delighted to support a bit of time-travel, as the heritage of traditional music legend Nathaniel Gow comes alive through the skills of some of the best players the Scottish scene has to offer. Concerto Caledonia\u2019s Ceilidh Nights sparkle with period authenticity but they\u2019re all about audience participation too. What better way to experience Scotland\u2019s musical past than to put your best foot forward and enter into the heart of the action?\u201d<\/p>\n
