As far as the band for the ceilidh is concerned, I'll play in it with pleasure and a melodeon. I believe we have a caller(?Sally).   It looks like we have a mandolier (is that what a mandolinist is called?) so we could do with two or three more - p'raps guitar, fiddle, 'tina?   If we had a few more we could take turns and have a bit of a bop as well.    Do I have any support in NOT wanting a drummer or any amplification?
