The 2010 Celtic Colours lineup has been announced! The Chestico Museum is pleased to once again be hosting two events.
On Tuesday, October 12th at 2 PM, Storytelling & Afternoon Tea will be held at the museum. Local storytellers Barbara Cameron, John Gillies and guests will tell stories featuring women of Port Hood and Port Hood Island. Tea and oatcakes will be served. The cost is $10.
The evening of October 12th, the Chestico Museum show Close to the Floor will be held at 7: 30 PM at Strathspey Place in Mabou. Every year our show is dedicated to dance. This year, in keeping with the Celtic Colours theme of “coming home”, we welcome the Scottish pipe band Seudan who play the pipes in the dance style. Angus MacKenzie, who was brought up in Mabou, plays in this group. As always, some of Cape Breton’s top dancers and musicians will also be featured.
Ticket prices are $35/$25/$20 and are available through the Celtic Colours site or the Strathspey Place Box Office. Tickets go on sale Monday, July 5th at 9 AM ADT.
Between the Storytelling and Close to the Floor concert, you will find a delicious roast beef dinner in Port Hood at St. Peter’s Parish Hall beginning at 4 PM. The meal is sponsored by the Port Hood Knights of Columbus. The cost is $12 for adults and $7 for children 12 and under.
We look forward to seeing you this year during Celtic Colours!
