Never mind the great Gaelic festivals of Beltane and Samhain, The Almost Spring Curry Ceilidh is a cultural fusion cooker to rival them both.
Saturday 5th February sees Ardrishaig Public Hall host the Blarbuie Woodland and Argyll and Bute Hospital’s ‘Almost Spring Curry Ceilidh. And it’s more than a curry to make you lick your feet up at the ceilidh. (Sounds rather like horse coping.)
- From 3.00pm everyone is welcome to visit the hands-on traditional woodland craft exhibition and sale.
- From 5.30pm the Bangladesh Tandoori is served – upplied by Ardishaig’s Bangladesh Tandoori Restaurant.
- From 7.00pm the ceilidh begins, featuring folk music from Sanctuary, the electric pipes of Clachanach and the fiddle and accordion of Archie and Alex McAllister.
There will be a licensed bar plus teas and coffees.
Entry to the afternoon exhibition is free.
Tickets for curry and ceilidh are £15 (£7 concessions). Tickets for the ceilidh only are £7 (£3 concessions).
Advance tickets are available from the Bangladesh Tandoori Restaurant and the Rumblin’ Tum Cafe in Ardrishaig; and from the Argyll Book Centre in Lochgilphead.
The event is a fundraiser for the wonderful Blarbuie community woodland from which local residents and hospital patients harvest such enduring benefit.

For linnhe: Brilliant. So it is. And just as you often see Christian churches built on top of, or beside, earlier pagan places, Imbolc became Candelmas Day.
It’s hard not to think of dogs and lamp posts – if the irreverence is not offensive.
