How We Spent Our Summer Vacation

We just got back from our vacation in Cape Breton and someone asked, “What do you do there all summer?”  I checked my pocket calendar and have listed the doings of a typical week (July 26-Aug 1).

Monday: Red Shoe Pub in Mabou – Fiddle session starting at 8:30. Stayed a couple of hours, then went to Brook Village dance (Andrea Beaton).

Tuesday: Concert at Joey Beatons in Mabou (Mary Elizabeth McInnis [Buddy MacMaster’s daughter]); then to Scotsville dance (Andrea Beaton); passed up Mike Hall at Island Resort; passed up Xmas Island concert with Brenda Stubbert and Howie MacDonald.

Wednesday: We host a ceilidh/session at The Bridge museum in Mabou. It ran late so we missed the dance at the Normaway Inn in Margaree with Kinnon Beaton.

Thursday:  In afternoon we participate in a small concert at local hospital for shut-ins; then to Port Hood for Chestico Days lobster supper; then to Glencoe Dance (Jackie Dunn, Stephanie Wills).

Friday: Mike Hall playing at Red Shoe Pub. Passed up SW Margaree Dance (Colin Grant)

Saturday: Chestico Days food and craft show in Port Hood; then to Mabou Family Dance (Andrea Beaton)

Sunday: Afternoon Pig Roast party in Barrachois; then to Red Shoe Pub concert (Kolton MacDonell)

We can’t wait to get back for Celtic Colours in October

The Scottish Fiddle Music tradition includes tunes written for fiddle, accordion, whistle - any melody instrument - plus bagpipe tunes and songs. Geographically the tradition extends throughout Scotland, including Shetland, and followed the influx of immigrants to Cape Breton in Nova Scotia.

Our purpose: to educate the public in the full spectrum of Scottish music styles - including playing styles, regional differences, composer variations and historical context - through public meetings, workshops, musical publications and other activities.
