SIR SEAN CONNERY

TO TURN  80

PD*23603151

A TOP ceilidh band will get the dancing started when Sir Sean Connery hits 80 next month.

Bowfire, one of the world's leading fiddling troupes, have been booked to perform at a special reception held in his honour in the Bahamas.

The actor only wanted 50 family and friends at the bash but no expense has been be spared. The lavish party will be held at a rented mansion near the former 007 star's home in Nassau.

Guests will be treated to champagne and canapes and a marquee will be erected in the garden of the opulent property.

And the highlight of the evening will be a show by the Canadian virtuoso violinists, who specialise in Celtic-themed music.

Arrangements are being made to fly the band to the Bahamas by Sir Sean's stepson Stephane.

Bowfire have played for the last two years at the Dressed to Kilt event which Sir Sean organises at Scotland Week in New York.

He has become a big fan of their music and his family decided to fly them over to play as a birthday treat.
