What has been said about Ceilidh Bands.      

Quotations about ceilidh bands and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

A certain Music, never known before, Here soothed the pensive melancholy Mind; The God of Winds drew Sounds of deep Delight: Whence, with just Cause, The Harp of Aeolus it Light. Ah me! what hand can touch the strings so fine? Who up the lofty Diapason roll, Such sweet, such sad, such solemn Airs divine, Then let them down again into the Soul? ~ James Thomson
