It all depends where you are! Certainly not in Scotland though. Our band caller specialises in Yorkshire Dances, but we call ourselves a "ceilidh band". Yorkshire ceilidh? Well they do say (I do anyway) that a Yorkshireman is a Scotsman with the generosity beaten out, so perhaps there's a racial connection somewhere - possibly from when they came raping and pillaging over the border?


PS: I am a Yorkshireman!
