Focus E15 Ceilidh on Saturday 23 September in Hackney

benefits, Focus E15 Campaign, housing struggles, , ,

Focus E15 campaign is marking 10 years of existence/resistance and fighting for housing by hosting a ceilidh courtesy of the fantastic E15 ceilidh band. Expect live music, lots of laughter and positive vibes in an wonderful venue.

The word Ceilidh (kay-lee) descends from the Gaelic word for a gathering. The beauty of a ceilidh (similar to a Barn Dance) is that everyone can take part, young or old, experienced dancers, beginners, adults and children alike.

Plus DJ daggers will be on hand to keep the vibes upbeat.

Remember to buy your tickets in advance to ensure your entry, although there will be a few tickets on the door too.

Together we are stronger! We look forward to welcoming you there.

Date: Saturday 23 September
Doors: 7:30pm -11pm
Venue: Round Chapel Old School Rooms, 2 Powerscroft Road, Hackney, London, E5 0PU
