Nest Collectives Spring Ceilidh

Fri 13 March, 19:00
From £16 | £15 Conc

Bring your dancing shoes to The Nest Collective’s spring celebration with the Ceilidh Liberation Front!

Celebrate the arrival of spring with a lively, rambunctious ceilidh. Just as the Spring Equinox signals the shift into the warmer part of the year, we’ll be celebrating the return of the sun the best way we know how – with music, merriment, and a good old knees-up!

The Ceilidh Liberation Front is London’s best live ceilidh band, subverting the lore of Ceilidh with their energetic folk dance regime. They breathe vigour and vitality into the traditional ceilidh, whilst honouring its roots and traditions.

Open to dancers of all abilities (no experience necessary!)

Time Out

“Taking the traditional ceilidh as its starting point, but ripping up the rule book, souping up the music and subverting the dance moves. No experience is necessary”
