We're delighted to announce that last night's ceilidh raised £967 for the Portobello Timebank
That was an epic evening - Porty, you were awesome!
We'd like to pass on a huge thanks to all the folk from the Timebank and Bellfield who helped out with making everything run so smoothly. And to the The Skylark Portobello for their fabulous bar.

Ros Gasson, one of Da Hooley's founding members, was interviewed by David at The Porty Podcast yesterday.
The band, and hence The Porty ceilidhs came about because of one happy accident.
Hamish - thanks for that fiddle!

Tonight I find myself in the scary position of being custodian of the birthday cake for the next 2 hours.
Any bets on whether I can resist temptation that long?

When we first sorted out the dates for these gigs, it was way too hot to be thinking about dancing
Ceilidh weather has just arrived!

Tickets are now on sale for the first of our Porty Ceilidhs. Join us at Bellfield on Saturday 22nd September for a cracker of a hooley.
You can get your tickets at The Skylark Portobello or The Velvet Easel Gallery. There will also be a limited number of tickets available online from Saturday 25th August.
Wheeeeeuch! See you on the dance floor

Cannae wait! 🤸‍♀️🍷

I would highly recommend Da Hooley Ceilidh Band, and want to say an massive thank you to all the band for making our student event one to remember! All of our international student visitors commented how amazing the ceilidh was. Communication before the event was perfect and the event ran very smoothly. Drew was a fantastic caller and really brought everyone together. 10 out of 10 - we will definitely be using this band again soon!

Da Hooley played at my daughter's 21st this weekend and were great. Everyone was up dancing and Drew was great at keeping everyone in step. Before the night they were very good at understanding everything we wanted from the night. Thank you very much.
