August 16, 2012 Ceilidh

The fifth ceilidh of the Chestico Museum’s 2012 summer ceilidh series was held on August 16th.

Our fiddler was Kenneth Mackenzie from Mabou and he was accompanied by Tyson Chen, also from Mabou. Kenneth and Tyson played wonderfully well together and Tyson even gave us a few tunes by himself.

Kenneth is part of Celtic Colours this year and will be part of the Roots to the Future show in Big Pond.

Hughie John Beaton was on hand with his guitar and sang some old favourites. This was his second appearance at the museum this year and it is always a pleasure to have him with us!

We even had an impromptu step dance performance by Sandra Chisholm. It was spur of the moment and she did a great job!

August 9, 2012 Ceilidh

The fourth ceilidh of the Chestico Museum’s 2012 summer ceilidh series was held on August 9th.

Our fiddler was Gabrielle MacLellan from Judique and she was accompanied by her husband Tom Daniels on guitar. Both are extremely talented and were very much enjoyed.

Gabrielle will be part of the Buddy MacMaster School of Fiddling during Celtic Colours this year – something to keep in mind!

Due to unforseen circumstances we only had one of The Boys from the Hood but Gerard Walker did a wonderful job. He sang lots of old favourites and we were thrilled to have him with us!
