The Ceilidh, pronounced ‘‘kay-
lee” will include Scottish dancers,
exquisite bagpipe offerings, story
telling, singing and a few surpris
es. Such popular songs as Auld
Lang Syne, Annie Laurie, Loch
Lomond and other traditional Scot
tish airs will be featured in this
special evening.
Robbie Burns, born January 25,
1759 (just 230 years ago), was
hailed as Scotland’s national poet
and he wrote lyrics to many of
Scotland’s traditional music which
was handed down from generation
to generation. In all, he produced
over 350 songs including the words
to Auld Lang Syne which we sing at
the beginning of each new year.
The lyrics to traditional songs,
Annie Laurie and Loch Lomond,
are linked to Lady John Scott who
at one time wandered the streets of
Edinburgh, listening to the songs
of children and people on the
street. She wrote the words and
music down and had these songs
published in the form we know
them today.
The Blyth Festival Singers, a
community based choir of over 40
members, draws its musical talent
from Exeter, Clinton, Stratford,
Seaforth, Auburn, Wingham,
Blyth, Brussels, Londesboro,
Wroxeter, Goderich, Ethel, Varna
and Belgrave. Carol Carter of
Seaforth, an accomplished pianist
is the accompanist of the Singers.
Choir Director is Angus Sinclair of
Stratford, an outstanding organist
and musician. New members are
always welcome to join this active
choir and more information is
available from Lynda Lentz, 523-
4345. '
