Ceilidh: The Robert Fish Band

In conjunction with Scotland’s Tradfest (26 April - 6 May 2019), the Robert Fish Band is putting on a Scottish-Breton Ceilidh at the Institut français d'Ecosse on Saturday, 3 May.

With deep ties to Scotland’s traditional music scene and after having taken part in a cultural exchange with a Breton organisation in Finisterre for many years, the Robert Fish Band is putting on a Celta Ceilidh featuring Scottish and Breton dancing. For beginners and experts alike, this night of Breton and Scottish traditional dance will get your heels moving and your hearts racing. And for a twist appropriate to the Institut français d'Ecosse, the band even can call Scottish dances in French!

About the band
The Robert Fish Band have been getting folk on their feet in Edinburgh and beyond since the great ceilidh revival of the 1990s. We spend many an evening “walking the line between tradition and innovation with sparkling flair – and a highly contagious sense of fun” (Sue Wilson) and have played venues from Blackpool to Brittany, from Leipzig to Lochaber, from Glasgow Green to Gilmerton Miners’ Welfare Club. We play and call the steps for all the well-known Scottish ceilidh dances and a few of the more unusual ones besides, with a line-up of fiddle, accordion/whistle, guitar, bass and percussion.
