Heeliegoleerie Rock!

Despite the gale force winds, the hammering rain, the fact that I almost didn't get the room after a misunderstanding about confirming the booking. Despite almost going into meltdown with the stress of organising a Ceilidh in a week where I was also serving as a juror at the Sheriff Court. Despite all that,  the evening was a brilliant success. The credit for this most surely lies with the fantastic band we had for the evening - Heeliegoleerie. Their already quite sizeable fanbase got just that little bit wider after Friday. They have a great funky but folksy sound and the ability to teach people new and interesting dances with patience and humour - they rock! The raffle was also very successful, largely thanks to the star prize of tickets to the closing film of the Edinburgh International Film Festival and closing night party. Altogether we raised £760!

And yes, even though at 7.30pm on Friday evening I said never again, I would totally organise another evening like this. It was a lot of fun, the atmosphere was great and everyone was having such a great time. Next time, I may try and eat a little bit more than one cocktail-sized spring roll before the evening starts.
