The Ceilidh Experience was originally formed in 2002 when Norman Mackay and Carrie Thomas started gigging as an accordion/fiddle duo.
The musicians who regularly feature in the current line up are Norman Mackay accordion, Emma Pethybridge, Carrie Thomas & Ruairidh Macmillian fiddles and Drummers Richard Corral & Tamir Karp.
The band performs at ceilidhs all over the UK and abroad, from weddings, festivals & functions to their biggest crowd in June 2005 when they played for 5000 dancers on Edinburgh's meadows breaking the world record for the biggest ever eightsome reel!

2 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Hear ye, hear ye. After many moons, the Big Hand debut album is finally waiting eagerly in the wings and is set to dazzle upon the main stage of life! Yes, its set for release, and its gonna blow your socks off. So...............
...........to celebrate this wonderful occasion, get your dancing shoes on, and please grace us with your presence at the Bongo Club at 7pm on Friday 8th Feb, for a superspecial limited edition launch gig (and get your hands on a sparkling new copy before the less fortunate outside our good city walls)! Featuring of course ourselves, plus the incredible Bombskare, and many guest musicians from your favourites such as The Ruffness and Myagi to help spice up the party.
Get yourselves the remedy for the winter blues, grab your friends by the hand and lead them in the ways of Zorbic rightousness, and come on down for a dazzling night to remember...
Whaddayathink - is the Phil Cunningham concert at the QH on the 21st worth TWENTY QUID? I'm trying to decide if I should, you know, invest that in two week's worth of food or buy a ticket.
Been a while since I dropped by to say Hi! :) Looks like you're doing well. You deserve it! Hope success continues for you. Stop by my site & say hello when you get the chance & play a song or two! Stay well & Keep doin' what you do! ZT
Hey Hey! Just a wee reminder that we're playing Bannermans this Thursday and recording the show for the video of our debut single. So dust down yer dancing shoes, hold onto your hat and come make yourself famous! BHx
