In the early hours of Saturday 4th October 2008, eight members of the Ballochleam dancers and Gillian departed Stenhousemuir for the 400 mile trip to Wiltshire. The dancers knew that they were performing at a famous recording artists private estate but had no clues who the performer was. Gillian had been sworn to secrecy.

The Ballochleam dance group for the trip comprised of Maria, Lauren, Sarah, Kelly, Erin, Natalie, Eric and Elliott.

The dancers were accompanied by the Ceilidh band-  "Licensed to Ceilidh"   from London.

Ballochleam Dancers firstly  performed three traditional highland dances to entertain the star studded audience, then were to encourage the guests to participate in the ceilidh dances and guide them through the steps.

 

Star guests included Kevin Spacey, Guy Ritchie, Steven Fry, Jake Gyllenhaal, Lacey Chabert and Thandi Newton, as well as Stings family and wife Trudie Styler.

Ballochleam Highland Dancers and Gillian would like to thank Kiltpin Highland outfitters in Falkirk for the generous donation, of two of their gents Highland outfits for the event.
