 On August 28th, the HotScotch Ceilidh Band, from Edinburgh, Scotland, were invited out to play in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The band is led by Paul Chamberlain on accordion, with Christine Anderson – fiddle, and Jim Walker – drums. They were providing a Scottish ceilidh for guests on board the super-yacht ‘Christina O’, as part of a wedding celebration with a Scottish connection. It was a fantastic occasion and the ceilidh went down very well, with popular favourites such as ‘Strip the Willow’ and ‘The Eightsome Reel’, on the rear deck of the boat. Certainly a most memorable event for the band, and enjoyed by the mixture of French and Scottish guests. Their next function is in the magnificent Stirling Castle on Saturday September 4th.
