Ceilidh /ˈkeɪli/ is a Canadian music television series which aired on CBC Television in 1973 and 1974.
This series began as a local 13-episode production which was broadcast locally in mid-1973 and hosted by John Allan Cameron. Its title (céilidh) is a Gaelic word meaning a social gathering based on dancing and music.
In 1974, the series was produced in Halifax for CBC's national network. Cameron was replaced by Alasdair Gillies who joined series regulars the Cape Breton Fiddlers and the Ceilidh Dancers.[1]
