My album of Billy Pigg includes a few tracks recorded by Forster Charlton at "Alnwick gatherings" - evenings of food, drink, conversation, music and dancing. Sounds very much like the original concept of a ceilidh. If memory serves (and I don't have the sleeve notes to hand), these took place in the 1950s and were presumably part of local tradition.

The tracks recorded at the gathering included Billy on pipes with other musicians such as flautist and fiddler.
