Chestico Place

The sixth ceilidh of the Chestico Museum’s 2011 summer ceilidh series was held on August 18th.

Shelly Campbell was our guest fiddler this week and she brought along Allan Dewar who accompanied her on piano. Their energetic tunes were enjoyed by all!

Hughie John Beaton had the crowd entertained with an amusing selection of songs and we were also treated to the beautiful voices of Jeannie Beks and Christine Campbell.

Part of our audience was a couple from Arkansas who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary – Kate and Mickey Davis. Mickey just happened to have his fiddle with him and was kind enough to play a couple of selections for us. He is a wonderful player!

This week we welcomed Mike Hall as our guest fiddler. He was accompanied by Cathy Hawley. They were certainly enjoyed by all. Remember, if you would like a copy of Mike’s cd, it is available in our Gift Shop.

Also entertaining were Leah Gillies on piano and we had two members of the Boys from the Hood – Edgar Cormier and Gerard Walker. Edgar and Gerard sang a number of local favourites!
