Cèilidh
A cèilidh ( , ) or céilí () is a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering. In its most basic form, it simply means a social visit. In contemporary usage, it usually involves dancing and playing Gaelic folk music, either at a house party or a larger concert at a social hall or other community gathering place. ''Cèilidhean'' (plural of ''cèilidh'') and ''céilithe'' (plural of ''céilí'') originated in the Gaelic areas of Scotland and Ireland and are consequently common in the Scottish and Irish diasporas. They are similar to the ''Troyl'' traditions in Cornwall and ''Twmpath'' and '' Noson Lawen'' events in Wales, as well as English country dances throughout England which have in some areas undergone a fusion with céilithe.

In Scottish Gaelic reformed spelling it is spelled ''cèilidh'' (plura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
