Ceilidh Club

Ceilidh Club is a live music night in Leeds, named after the ceilidh, the social dance tradition of Scotland and Ireland. It takes place at The Attic, a Leeds venue for concerts and shows.

Ceilidh Club takes its name from the ceilidh, a social dance tradition of Scotland and Ireland in which groups of dancers follow spoken calls to live music. The name places the act within that folk-based dancing culture, where the music and the dance are closely bound together. Ceilidhs have long been held in village halls and community venues, with dances called in turn so that partners change throughout the evening.

The Attic hosts concerts and shows in Leeds, and this is a live music night in its programme. It suits people who enjoy traditional dance music and group dancing, as well as newcomers who want to see how a ceilidh works in performance.
