ceilidh bands...

One major branch of my family are devout evangelical christians.

2 summers ago we had to attend a wedding in liverpool.
It was a big reception at a posh country club.
The largish congregations of 2 evangelical ministries joined up in attendance.

The main event was the ceilidh band which all the teenagers and young 20 somethings looked forward to in keen anticipation,
and joined in most enthusiastically knowing all the dance routines.

It was explained to me that ceilidhs were a serious part of their church social culture,
and events the youth could get a little rowdy at whilst meeting & getting to know potential marriage partners under parental controlled conditions....
