The Ceilidh, or Ceili
(Pronounced: kay-lee)
(Pronounced: kay-
Originally, a ceilidh was a social gathering of any sort, and did not necessarily involve dancing. The 'ceilidh' is a literary entertainment where stories and tales, poems and ballads, are rehearsed and recited and songs are sung, conundrums are put, proverbs are quoted, and many other literary matters are related and discussed. The ceilidh of the Western Hebrides corresponds to the veillée of Lower Brittany and to similar story-telling festivals which formerly flourished among all the Celtic peoples. In more recent decades, the dancing portion of the event has usurped the older meanings of the term.
