Jiggered Ceilidh Band arrived back home in the early hours of Sunday morning, after a trip up to Dundee for a wedding at Piperdam. The bride and groom currently live in Germany but had returned to his hometown to get hitched. They came across Jiggered's website and loved the look of the site and the sound samples too. High praise since the groom, Gavin Brady, is an accomplished professional pianist!
I'll readily admit I was a wee bit nervous about playing piano in front of someone of Gav's talent but I needn't have worried- the bride and groom were both instant fans of Jiggered and loved our sound. So even when Gavin and his friend took over the piano and violin for a brilliant duet it was all in true ceilidh spirit...appreciating good music even if our styles were quite different!

Jiggered Ceilidh Band were playing last night at a wedding in Dundee. That meant we missed England's first match of the 2010 World Cup [I was toying with various possible titles for this blog but the best I could come up with was "Green Day (American Idiot)" to sum up the goalie's howler from the match between England and USA].
We played for Jen and Ainslie Chinembiri's wedding reception. It was a fantastic mix of Scotland and Zimbabwe in the guests, music, outfits. The wedding was in the beautiful garden of Smithy Croft with marquees. Thankfully it was a beautiful day. We enjoyed watching the African guests teaching the Scottish guests how dancing should be done!
