Going to Celtic Women: Kilted or no?

[Malcolm MacWilliam]

Definitely....wear the KILT! Went to a small concert of Jim Malcolm a few years ago and I wore a kilt....only kilted one there (about 50 people), but I felt great and got a thumbs up from Jim.

When I went to Lord of the Dance at the big arena years ago, there were dozens of young ladies in skirts with Celtic knots. People like to dress up for these types of events. Many people will compliment you, and nobody would have anything negative to say.

Still, you won't be as pretty as the girls on stage.

Boy am I jealous!!! That fiddle player could iron my kilt any day!!!(if I was 30 years younger and single). Actually, both my wife and I enjoy their music and I was kilted at Lord of the Dance and I certainly would strap on a tartan for the Celtic Women.

Enjoy

Why not go kilted? That's the real question.

I didn't even think about it when the babes blew into Kansas City last year. Wore the kilt semi dress style, got alot of looks and compliments. It completed the evening for some people attending the concert. I was one of the few, the proud, the Kilted.

Don the Tartan,

It certainly sounds like an event begging for a kilt.

I'm with the Monkey on this one!

I've have only seen one performance on DVD and listened to a couple of CDs but I would absolutely wear highland attire to their concert.

If I were going with a date I wanted to impress I would wear a dressy outfit and NOT ogle the performers.

The phrase "the violin player is almost as pretty as you" would be appropriate.

The Celtic Women performance is coming to Houston on April 17th.

My plans are to go kilted.

Do as I do.

I mean, really, is there an option not to wear a kilt there?

[Philip S. Tibbetts]

I don't want to be a party pooper but I just want to throw up one bit of cautionary advice.

I agree with everyone here that this event would be a great one to wear a kilt at, however I think the more pressing concern is what your date thinks.

The important thing to remember is that you're trying to impress this girl and as such the night should be about her as much as the concert. I can't see why she wouldn't want you to, but it may depend on how long she's known you etc. Some girls like a confident man, some want a 'normal' man etc.

My advice is to ask your date what she thinks. That will show consideration for her feelings and may earn you brownie points. If she:
A) Never wants you to wear a kilt then you can take that as a bad sign
B) Would like to be more in her comfort zone in these earlier phases of courtship then you can show how warm and caring you are by abiding by that
C) You can rejoice if she thinks it's a cool idea

Hope that helps

If your date has a problem with the kilt, try to catch the eye of one of the Celtic Women.
