Black Cat - That's a fine name! Why look further?

Re Jess A's excellent summary -
We go for "ceilidh band" because it's what we like to call ourselves, and we have an explanation of what we do on our web site, including how to pronounce "ceilidh".

One of the commonest questions we get from punters is whether we'll do some Scottish dances "because there'll be some Scottish people at the party". Proper strathspey-and-reel stuff is far too difficult for a typical event with inexperienced dancers, but further questioning usually reveals "oh you know, strip the willow and Gay Gordons and dosey-do [really!] and stuff like that".
We did have someone ask for an eightsome reel once, and got a set to do it but it was a struggle and they obviously didn't know what they'd let themselves in for.
