Traditional Ceilidh Band
Standard music was initially sung and played for social gatherings, where the first sort of the ceilidh comes from. This was a meeting where different members of the party would each take turns to play a tune or sing a song, infrequently with others joining in. Plenty of the tunes and songs have been passed down thru the generations and are consistently evolving even today as musician put their own slant on them. The fiddle was a truly well liked instrument in Ceilidh Band and its profile in highland music was raised by James Scott Skinner in the latter 19th and early twentieth century.
