August 11, 2011 Ceilidh

The fifth ceilidh of the Chestico Museum’s 2011 summer ceilidh series was held on August 11th.

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!

You can view some photos of the evening on our Facebook page.
