Successful return of ceilidhs at Nairn Community and Arts Centre after coronavirus pandemic

Another highly-successful Nairn Ceilidh Group season came to an end with another full house at the Nairn Community and Arts Centre.

Visitors from all over the world attend the events which are organised by a small team of traditional music enthusiasts.

“We didn’t know quite what to expect when bringing back the ceilidhs after Covid,” said group chairman Donald Wilson.

“But we have been thrilled with the turn-outs.

“We decided to shorten the season to just eight weeks instead of 11 and proceeds will be disbursed to local causes.

“We rely heavily on musicians, choirs and dancers giving their time for free and to them all we owe a huge thank you.”

Donald added|: “We have noticed, I suspect due to the aftermath of Covid and perhaps Brexit, we have far fewer visitors from Europe but those who have attended have thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

“Our Provost Laurie Fraser is a regular attendee and he enjoys getting up on the dance floor with his wife Mardie.”
