In terms of great evenings out, Glasgow should really be top of your list. Together with virtually every imaginable taste catered for, from rock concerts to comedy clubs, Glasgow really does have something to offer absolutely everyone. One kind of function, that is genuinely growing dramatically in recognition is the Glasgow ceilidh.
These occasions are becoming really popular lately, particularly with the younger crowd who don't see them as dull and dowdy nights out just worthy of old age pensioners. With thanks to the emergence of some great contemporary acts, such as the well-known Red Hot Chilli Pipers who merge modern rock with the much more traditional Scottish sounds, ceilidhs are yet again riding a wave of popularity. A night put in at a ceilidh isn't like going to a nightclub - to begin with, everyone is supposed to get involved. Wallflowers don't need to apply here. Theres no hiding in the shadows expecting that no none will notice you - and even the last bastion of manhood - the bar - is not any safe haven from the dancefloor. There's no use feigning injuries either. Aside from the fact that ceilidhs are often frequented by nurses and physicians, your typical ceilidh goer would make a mean chiropracter making use of their ability to throw you round the room without you ever really coming to any harm. Its cheaper, more fun and most likely more potent than a trip to most chiropractors! And its far more social. Rather than die in a sea of noise you will discover that everyone speaks to everybody else, and at some point or other in the proceedings you typically end up dancing with them. If you are single, its also an easy way to get to meet young ladies (or boys) as you really are not able to ignore the fact that most people are encouraged to get involved.
Glasgow enjoys a particularly lively ceilidh scene with many well attended and incredibly well run nights happening all year round. In fact, its one of the few places in Scotland to find totally free ceilidhs being run, sometimes for charity, from time to time simply for fun. I have attended several ceilidhs in Glasgow and they have all been extremely lively and very exciting. Your average ceilidh boasts a habit of appealing to an eclectic combination of people - another big plus point in my book. There is no doubt that its an amazing way to meet new friends from other nations, and various backgrounds. People whom you would not normally meet in your everyday living.
If you are searching for a great Glasgow ceilidh to go to then,just be sure you look at the regular Friday night event at Sloans Bar in the heart of the city. It has its own resident ceilidh group and frequently attracts guest announcers as well as a wide selection of ages and ethnicities. The location is also greatly impressive as it happens inside the fully restored halls of the Grand Ballroom upstairs, which tends to make an unique night better yet. Don't miss it.
