While one of a
kind is a hard rating
to achieve at Mel Bay
Publications, Kevin
Allison has done it with
The Ceilidh Dance
Book. A
ceilidh is
a traditional Scottish
gathering where people
share songs, stories,
music, and dancing that
is very much alive today.
In Scotland, there are
hundreds of ceilidh
bands, each of which has
their own trademark tune
sets, making it possible
for a man in a kilt to
make a living as a
performing
musician.
This book not only
provides 85 Scottish
tunes in sets as they
might be used in a
ceilidh eventâ??it also
offers detailed,
beat-by-beat descriptions
of the dance steps for
twenty-four dances! From
The Highland
Scottish to The
Mooncoin Jig, with
this book in hand,
youâ??ll be able to both
play in the band and step
to the music with the
locals. The kilt is
optional.
Arranged for
mandolin or fiddle with
suggested chord backup,
in standard notation
only.
