Please note that this is not a dance.
Instead it's more like an informal concert where members of the audience can choose to perform their party piece.
Come along with songs, music or stories to contribute to the evening’s entertainment in any language or just come along to listen and enjoy.
It starts at 7.45pm and finishes about 10.30 pm.
Come with the partner of your dreams, by yourself, with friends and/or children - no need to feel shy.
Supper provided.
Bring your own booze or soft drinks - glasses are
available at the hall.
It's
an ideal chance to read out or recite one (or more) of your short
stories or poems to an appreciative audience, play an instrument or sing, though
there's no compulsion - if you just want to eat and listen, that's OK.
Most people sing or read in English or Scots, some in
Gaelic.
Some Gaelic spoken (with translation into
English).
£6 non-members, £5 members of Gaelic in the Borders.
Membership available at the door,
In the past there has always been a raffle.
Melrose Parish Church Hall is on the crown of the hill above Melrose Rugby Club. There's plenty of parking.

Gaelic in the Borders 'Taste o' Burns' Ceilidh on 24 January in Maxton Village Hall
Gaelic in the Borders has a 'Taste o' Burns' ceilidh on Friday, 24th January 2014 in Maxton Village Hall starting at 7.45pm - cost £5 including haggis supper but bring your own drinks - glasses are available at the hall.
This is a ceilidh in the original sense of the word, not a dance but a convivial get together where people can perform if they wish by reading a story, playing music, singing, etc.
It's an ideal chance to read out or recite one (or more) of your short stories or poems to an audience, play an instrument or sing, though there's no compulsion - if you just want to eat and listen, that's OK.
In spite of its name, most people sing or read in English or Scots, not in Gaelic, though there will be some Gaelic spoken (with translation into English).
In the past there has always been a very good haggis supper (both meat and vegetarian) and a raffle.
