London Ceilidh Club

A caller shouts, fiddles reel — strangers become friends.

The fiddle kicks up, and something ancient answers in your feet. A caller shouts the steps, but you’ll miss them — you’re laughing too hard and twirling too fast. Couples form and reform in a blur of flushed cheeks and flying arms. There’s no wrong step, only forward. By the end, you’re stomping through ‘Auld Lang Syne’ with strangers you’d swear you’ve known for years.
