Hoolichan All Star Ceilidh Band and guests join forces for a fundraising ceilidh in support of the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo), which returns to Aberdeen in July 2010. The convention, organised by the University’s Elphinstone Institute, is the largest event of its kind and attracts traditional musicians and dance artists from countries around the North Atlantic, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Canada, the USA, Ireland and the UK. To support the development of new talent, the fundraising ceilidh will see the debut of the newly formed 'North East Folk Collective' whose members include many of the top young players from Aberdeen City and Shire. There will also be a short, high-energy performance from champion dancers Gaorsach Rapper and Step. The ceilidh will be preceded at 7.30-8pm by the launch of Paul Anderson's classic collection of fiddle tunes from North East Scotland, The Elphinstone Collection, published by Taigh na Teud and the Elphinstone Institute.
