July 19, 2012 Ceilidh

The second ceilidh of the Chestico Museum’s 2012 summer ceilidh series was held on July 19th and it was a real treat!

Shelly Campbell was our fiddler and gave us a number of tunes. She also put down the fiddle to step dance AND play the piano! She certainly is multitalented!

Pius MacIsaac brought along his guitar and mandolin and played both beautifully.

Bill MacDonald was also present with his guitar and he played along with Pius and Shelly and he also accompanied Marie Aucoin who did an absolutely incredible job of singing.  Her rendition of Danny Boy was amazing!

We had a great crowd in attendance and they were in fine voice, joining in with Bill on The Tennessee Waltz and Farewell to Nova Scotia.

Great music, a good tea and catching up with old friends – a wonderful evening all around!
