Robbie Burns Day Celebration
January 28, 2012 | 7 PM
|
|
Robbie Burns day is just around the corner. So lets celebrate Scotland's late, great poet with a few less frills and a lot more dancing!
Join dance caller Niamh Webster of the Tir na nOg Irish Dance Academy as she guides you through traditional (and some not so) Scottish and Irish dances accompanied by the driving tunes of the North Mountain Ceilidh Band (Scott Henderson - pipes, flute and whistles; and Andy Webster guitar, bouzouki and vocals).
The band will also treat participants to a few renditions of some of Burns musical works and dancers of both Irish and Scottish traditions will give demonstrations during the break accompanied by the pipes.
Door prizes and cash bar as always!
Tickets are $10 in advance and can be purchased at the Box of Delights Book Shop in Wolfville, or at the door on the night for $12. Under 5s are FREE!
For family rate or for groups of 10 or more please email or call us at info@tirnanogacademy.com or 582-1786.
