Klezmer Keilidh

About the show

Klezmer is the modern name for the traditional folk music originating from the Yiddish speaking Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. It was played at weddings and other celebrations to accompany the event and, of course, for social dancing. Researched and revived since the 1970s, the music has become more well-known and widespread.

Judith Plowman will lead and call the evening dance with the Klezmer band Yoyvl. The repertoire includes circle dances, line dances, set dances and free dance, some of which are called as in a ceilidh, others are led from the floor. This is will be a fun and lively event so bring your friends and family.
