The mid-winter Ceilidh (pronounced "Kay-lee") is a traditional
Celtic visit or evening when dancing and music are enjoyed. Members of Good
Shepherd with a Celtic heritage were inspired to organize this lively evening
of energizing music to chase the winter blues and give families an
opportunity to spend an evening out together.
The lineup of performers includes:
*O'hAnleigh: The O'hAnleigh band has developed a diverse and
unique sound, playing everything from haunting ballads to Irish folk and
rollicking pub songs; Irish-American tin pan alley tunes, songs of rebellion,
and traditional Celtic sets. Vocals are supported by 6 and 12-string guitar,
bouzouki, mandolin, bass, fiddle, tenor banjo, penny whistles, harmonica,
bowed psaltry, dulcimer, autoharp, bodhráns, bones, spoons, and a variety of
other small percussion instruments, many home-made and styled for particular
songs.

The church is located across from Clark's Truck Center on
