Would any of you grown ups like to do more ceilidh dancing? Katy's and my lovely friend Cath Coutts - fab ceilidh caller - will be running a course at Scots Music Group https://www.scotsmusic.org/our-classes/ on Wednesdays at Sciennes Primary School so why not go along and add to your ceilidh skills? Giant, Trees and Frogs will only get you so far...

Another lovely The Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival audience review from Sam who says 'Our 3.5 year old loved it! We arrived slightly late but she got stuck in straight away and loved all the dances'
We're not dancing tomorrow (Wednesday) but we're back on Thursday (27th) and in the meantime here is Scarfy who came for a dance with us the other day...

Come on down people - only 16 tickets sold so far this morning for The Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival at The Counting House so we need more dancers to swell the numbers! Tickets are available from https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/ceilidhkids-at-the-fringe or just come and do a walk-in... it's all good...

LOADS of room for walk-ins this morning at The Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival at The Counting House (and all week at present) so come on down and join us! https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/ceilidhkids-at-the-fringe

Amid the Fringe frenzy, Lindsay Weir, Colin Garvin, Martainn Skene and I headed to Heather On The Hill Festival at the Royal Highland Showground on Saturday to entertain the masses. It was lovely to work with a three-piece band for once and certainly made a change to be directing the dancing in what turned out to be a croissant-shaped dance floor, but a good time was had by all and I found my way back to the car eventually! Thank you for asking us along.

We're more or less sold out this morning (Sunday) at The Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival at The Counting House - might be able to squeeze in one walk-in family but that's all. Plenty of space during the week though!
