A ceilidh or ceili (kay-lee, Gaelic, literally meaning "visit") can generally be defined as a get-together, a gathering of the clan. Historically, such social or family assemblies might celebrate weddings, funerals, betrothals, christenings (or the pagan equivalent) and other calendar events, and, along with the obligatory feasting and drinking, would centre around music, dance, poetry, song and storytelling. For a closed nuclear society where news travelled at horse-speed along inhospitable, hazardous or non-existent roads, these social gatherings were important means of communication and information-exchange with the outside world.
