The White Heather Club was an iconic TV show in the 1960s and 1970s that beamed ceilidh dancing into people's homes across the UK, and was largely credited with the revival in popularity of Scottish country dancing. Last year, Bonnie & Wild reprised the ceilidh night, attracting hundreds of dancers every month to the free ceilidhs and we are delighted to have joined the club!

What is a Ceilidh?

Pronounced kay-lee, the word descends from the Old Irish céle, in Gaelic literally translating as “visit”. Today you can count on a ceilidh being music, lots of dances, lots of involvement, and a fabulous, fun night out.

The White Heather Club was an iconic BBC show of the 1960s that broadcast ceilidh music and dancing into people’s living rooms and made household names of the likes of Jimmy Shand and Andy Stewart. Our own ambitions aren’t quite so lofty! We just want to see folk coming to Bonnie & Wild and having a great time.
