Musical ScottishStorytelling Shows

WHO WE ARE

Ceilidh Crew ‘n Co provide musical storytelling shows for people of all ages. We are a multi-instrumental community interest company that brings Scottish magic to you through songs, stories and fun, celebrating Scots language and culture.

With the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, we are currently touring our brand-new show, A Jaunt Roond Auld Reekie, around primary schools in and around Edinburgh. Accompanied by workshops, the show combines music, comedy, puppetry and storytelling to celebrate the Scots language whilst telling stories of ‘auld Edinburgh’.

Upcoming Events

Part of 'Bridges Between' this years Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2024 Join mad auld Auntie Bee and her long-suffering niece Bonnie McRee on a tour of Auld Reekie, past and present, real and imagined. Without leaving the cosy Storytelling Court, their mad-cap journey takes in a trip round Arthur’s Seat, an encounter with Scotland’s national animal, the unicorn, a dive into the sanitary arrangements of Edinburgh tenements before the days of plumbing and an adventure with Scruffy Bob, great-great-great-great-great grandpa of Greyfriars Bobby. A Jaunt Roond Auld Reekie is performed in Scots and English, and its stories are told through music, comedy and puppetry by one of Edinburgh’s best community theatre companies. Formed in 2020, Ceilidh Crew ‘n Co works with people of all ages and backgrounds, drawing on the musical, acting and storytelling skills of its two performers, Corinne (Auntie Bee) and Alyssa (Bonnie). Script and original songs by Corinne Harris and puppets by Ali McCaw.
