Upcoming Events
Part of Edinburgh Tradfest 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.
We would like to invite you to our official company launch on May 11th at 3pm at the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
This is an un-ticketed event in which we will also be launching the album of songs from our show A JAUNT ROOND AULD REEKIE, as well as talking about the work our company has been doing and projects in the pipeline.
RSVP below and we look forward to seeing you there.
