St Andrews First Aid Ceilidh
here are some photos from saturday nights charity ceilidh at the st Andrews first aid headquarters in Glasgow ,
for those unsure what the st Andrews first aid association do they are the main medical aid for anyone at football games /concerts /festivals and other major events without these people attending such functions unless covered by other medical support then most of the events i mentioned wouldn't happen ,
they are also trained in the events of national disaster's also.... for example my father would be in charge of the coatbridge region for medical aid in the event of a air disaster or rail crash until the main authority's submit medical teams from the main hospital's police force and so on
they have these ceilidh once a year usually around st Andrews day my fathers been with the first aid for about 20 years and my grandfather before him Ive no wish to follow there footsteps to be honest but i admire what they do my brother sister and a few other members of family's are part of the first aiders for the region thanks to the first aid training my brother has since became a paramedic recently but still does the first even though he works 12 hr days
these pictures are mainly random to give you a snapshot of what it was like heres 10 of the 140 photos i got
myself and my partner
there mightve been only 3 guys in this band but i can assure you they certainly got the folk moving the power for the music felt like there was at least 6 fellas on stage
a wee action shot these folk where fairly moving at some pace lol
this is actually my grandmother (centre front) and her two sisters all over there 80s i might add also my mother and her sister in this image
my old man having his tash shaved off by the highest bidder 50 quid he got aswell lol these women wanted more than his tash off i can assure i had to intervine to stop my pop being stripped in front of everyone lol
this is myself ,finally got to wear my new brogues /hose and garters i went with a black shirt as i felt it was a modern addition to a older style of dress that i thought i had portrayed with being more traditional with the bottom half i left the belt at home i just couldnt be arsed wearing it to be honest(somewhat tipsy)
another crazy dance these folk where swinging each other about something silly i was amazed at the force and power of some of the Scottish dances
some more action shots
the auld lang syne part at the end of the night where everyone starts of in a circle then moves in and out and before you know it some wild men start swinging off each other ........ some sight indeed
