It's Ceilidh Time, and More

Had a long blow at the Legion today [heat was on, and moderate] in preparation for The Alexander Keith's Mid-Winter Celtic Festival which happens next Saturday. Make sure you get your tickets, because we have some great stuff lined up, including an exciting new addition to the Regina Irish scene in the form of Irish dancer and dance teacher Laura Buckley who danced successfully for years with the Blakey School in Saskatoon, and who is now teaching in Regina. She will be a great addition to what is already a vibrant scene here for Irish dance, and we look forward to her performance at the Ceilidh. While we are working on new concert music for the Ceilidh, and for concerts in the USA in March, we are also focussed on getting ready for the Winnipeg Scottish Festival on February 21. It'll be a tough day, for sure, because we'll all be noticing the absence of PPBAM President Marlene Stephens, whose personal efforts have helped make that event such a success over the years. Marlene was always a friend to the CRPB and also to the Conservatory Pipe Band, and we'll miss her happy face when we arrive at the Games. So, bring your chequebook for the silent auction, and get yourself to the Ceilidh. We're looking forward to a great night. And, if you get to Sunday morning and you think you haven't quite had enough fun, come to band practice at 10 a.m., and then for lunch at O'Hanlon's. See you there.
