Chestico Place

The second ceilidh of the Chestico Museum’s 2011 summer ceilidh series was held on July 14th. We were excited to have Kinnon and Betty Lou as our fiddler and piano player. They were certainly enjoyed by all!

Stanley MacNeil played the harmonica and was accompanied by Bill MacDonald on guitar. Stanley also showed off his step dancing ability, walzed with Marie  Aucoin and he and Bill had us all in stitches with their comedy routine!

Marie Aucoin, accompanied by Bill, treated us to some Irish and Cape Breton songs and Hughie, who accompanied himself on guitar, also impressed with his fine voice.

With such a strong group of talent, our ceilidh ran a bit long – but no one minded a bit!

Our Facebook page has an album of photos from the evening. You can view them here.

There is also a video.

The second ceilidh in our 2011 summer ceilidh series will be Thursday, July 14th at 7 PM at the museum.

This week will feature:

Kinnon & Betty Lou Beaton – Fiddle and Piano

Marie Aucoin – Vocals

Bill MacDonald – Guitar

Stanley MacNeil – Harmonica

Hughie MacDonald – Vocals

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children. Tea and light refreshments will be served following the show.

Hope to see you there!

The third ceilidh in the Chestico Museum 2010 summer ceilidh series took place on July 22nd. Our entertainment for the evening were Maggie Beaton who is a very talented young fiddler, Mary Graham who played our newly tuned piano, Leah Gillies who treated us to a selection of piano tunes and Stanley MacNeil who gave us some great harmonica playing!

Unfortunately, Jeannie Beks had to cancel but Mary brought her son Glenn Graham to help us out!

We had a good crowd in attendance who certainly enjoyed the evening!
