A queer and modern take on the Burns Night celebration this January - it's a ceilidh cabaret!
More Information (Gaydio is not responsible for external websites)
Each January, Scots across the world join together for a Burns Supper to celebrate the life and work of one of their most famous bards, Robert Burns - Rabbie, if you're nasty.
This year, come along as Scot music maker Venn Smyth and co-host Jamsheed Master for a modern and queer take on the celebration at The Brewers in Manchester. Bringing a much needed escape to the January blues, bring yer pals for a right knees up and joyful evening! Throw your caution, and yer kilt, to the wind!
You can expect:
Live music
Quiz
Games - such as The Kilted Cat Walk and True Scot Or Not?
And of course - ceilidh dancing! (Don't worry, we'll teach you the moves!)
Doors 3pm
Show 3.30pm-6pm
Audiences at the last Gayly Ceilidh said:
“So Good!”
“A fab show”
“Was distracted by you all in kilts”
Venn Smyth has been praised as “a superb songwriter” with his music reaching No.1 on the LGBTQ Music Chart. His engaging performances have taken him to the finals of Brighton’s Voice of Broadway and semis of London Pride’s Got Talent and Una Voce per San Marino.
Jamsheed Master arrived on the international scene producing tracks for BAFTA-winning SingStar! and Disney SingIt! videogames. Jam toured Japan as piano-vocalist with The Golden Age of Song, and their own music gets described as a ‘giant bear hug’.
