There is a new ceilidh sensation taking over the dance floors in WA and it is coming to Mandurah in the New Year!
Gallus Ceilidh Band is putting a fresh twist on the traditional Scottish shindig, mashing traditional music with rock and dance tunes to create a high-energy vibe with serious appeal for all age groups.
Their high energy gigs focus on the fun and having a go. Even if you don’t know the dances, they talk you through the steps and will have you birling and spinning in no time. The fusion of Highland Pipes, Borders Pipes, Whistles, Fiddles with Electric Guitar, Bass, Keys and Drums has to be experienced. Throughout the traditional dance sets you’ll find sections from Avicii, AC/DC, The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand and more. The result is a ceilidh that rocks and the band likes to play hard and fast, leaving audiences out of breath and wanting more!
This is a family friendly community event, it is a ceilidh like no other you’ve seen. Come and blow off those New Year cobwebs! You don’t want to miss it!!!

‘heartbeat.’ tells the real stories of those attempting to create a career in the arts long after everybody else has grown up.
blending theatre, spoken word, music and verbatim elements, this debut show from ‘perhaps, a theatre company.’ follows five west australian artists as they desperately try to find meaning in their role as a performer. ‘heartbeat.’ explores the power of art in a world that favours the monotonous, returning both the audience and the performers to the magic of childhood and the thing that connects us all: the all-consuming, undeniable desire to create.
