Cardno85 31 | 976 24 May 2009 / #1I love a good ceilidh...now I am wondering, is there a substantial amount of Scottish expats in Krakow that would have a regular one up and running...or enough for me to try and arrange a few?
JustysiaS 13 | 2,239 24 May 2009 / #2u do that, Polish people might enjoy it after a few vodkas, the dancing is pretty funny lol
confuseddude 4 | 19 24 May 2009 / #5Well from my experience of Poland, its the best country in the world to drink vodka in :) Possibly the best vodka also . . . anyway, sorry for deflecting from the OP thread
OP Cardno85 31 | 976 24 May 2009 / #6the dancing is pretty funny lolIt's great fun, i guess it may look funny if you are not brought up with it. Brilliant after a few drinks. And it means plenty of Kilts in Krakow!
JustysiaS 13 | 2,239 24 May 2009 / #7yeah i was quite drunk when i attended one and the dancing was err very amusing. sorry i don't think im attracted to men in kilts anymore ha ha.
Trevek 26 | 1,700 24 May 2009 / #9There's a noted Scottish piper in Krakow, Lindsay Davidson, perhaps he has a hand in ceilidhs.
OP Cardno85 31 | 976 24 May 2009 / #10Is that the guy that sometimes plays in the Main Square? If I see him while I am there I will ask him.
dtaylor5632 18 | 2,004 24 May 2009 / #11No dances yet, but i could arrange something.We arranged a Burns supper with the guy who you had a go :D
Trevek 26 | 1,700 24 May 2009 / #12Is that the guy that sometimes plays in the Main Square?Not sure, he's pretty big league. Plays concerts with philharmonics and the like.lindsaydavidson.co.uk
OP Cardno85 31 | 976 24 May 2009 / #14I think it's a good idea Dave. We can put our heads together once I am settled and arrange ourselves one. I have a friend who plays in a Ceilidh band so I might see if I can convince him and the boys to come on holiday...
Trevek 26 | 1,700 24 May 2009 / #15There's a friend of mine does the odd ceilidh in the Olsztyn area. I teach the odd bit of ceilidh dancing. I'd love to know if you ever have a biggy down there (as the actress said to the bishop).
OP Cardno85 31 | 976 25 May 2009 / #16How far from Krakow is Olsztyn? If I have one then I will certainly let you know, even if it's not that big.
backhander 7 | 22 1 Jun 2009 / #18Hey Cardno, could you keep me posted on the Ceilidh shenanigans please ?
