The Ceilidh Sessions

Gather with friends and family for this lively celebration of music and dance where Scottish tradition meets Baroque flair.

Flawless Norwegian folk ensemble Barokksolistene returns to the Festival for another rip-roaring concert after the enormous popularity of The Alehouse Sessions. This time, they’re joined by Scottish musician Donald Shaw and his ceilidh band for an afternoon of music and dance inspired by the Gaelic ceilidh tradition. All set in Princes Street Gardens, against the dramatic backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.

Alongside beloved ceilidh tunes like the The Gay Gordons and Strip the Willow, Barokksolistene adds an irresistible repertoire of Baroque music, sea shanties and alehouse tunes to the mix.

Join in for a proper knees-up or enjoy the music from your seat, as these world-class musicians bring their characteristically energetic performance styles to the stage.
