Family Ceilidh — The Nest Collective

The Nest Collective @thenestcollective.bsky.social · 19d

Our intention is to keep these as affordable as possible for families, but that does mean we need a good turnout in order to keep running them. If you know anyone with little humans that might enjoy this, please let them know! Our next one is for Halloween 🎃 👻

In addition to our riotous evening ceilidhs, we plan to hold a Family Ceilidh on the Saturday afternoon each time we gather.

These are particularly suitable for parents & guardians with young children. No experience necessary...

Solidity forever
The union never dies
Solidarity forever
In the face of all their endless lies
Decolonise

Wonderful footage of our #MidsummerNightsEve show for @thenestcollective.bsky.social. Maybe our best live recording ever!

It was a very special Campfire Club last night.

Thanks so much everyone for joining us for it. It’s been a spectacular summer season for us, and we’re so encouraged by your support.

Massive thanks to the always wonderful Saied Silbak and Bird in the Belly for their stunning performances.

The Nest Collective @thenestcollective.bsky.social · Aug 29

Next week we welcome the incredible @elizamarshall.bsky.social to London's Grand Junction.

It's going to be an amazing show, with Eliza using her loop pedals to weave layers of haunting flute melodies, hypnotic rhythms, percussion and electronics, spoken word and guitars.

See you there!
