Often noted for their high energy and enthusiastic performance, they play a variety of tunes both traditional and original, hailing from Scotland, Ireland, and the Maritimes. During the holiday season, they add a few festive tunes with a Celtic twist. Their name originates from the old Gaelic spelling of “Ceilidh” which means “kitchen party", and that is the atmosphere they strive to create.
