The old PHC piano found a new home at the Chestico Museum in 2001. Sadly, it has not seen much use. But this year, Marina decided to get it tuned so it can be used for our Thursday evening ceilidhs.
The piano tuner we found was Ken Rockey of Ken Rockey Piano Tuning. Ken was here on Saturday morning and did a great job at a more than reasonable price!
The piano sounds great and we can’t wait to show her off at an upcoming ceilidh!
The second ceilidh in our summer ceilidh series will be Thursday, July 15th at 7 PM at the museum in Port Hood.
This week we will feature:
Marie Aucoin – Vocals
Bill MacDonald – Guitar
Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children. Tea and light refreshments will be served following the show.
We hope you will join us for what promises to be an evening of great singing at the Chestico Museum!
The Chestico Museum’s 2010 summer ceilidh series got off to a rousing start on July 8th! We had a great line up of talent with Dara Smith on fiddle, accompanied by Marcellin Chiasson on guitar and mandolin and Lynn Chisholm on guitar and vocals. This talented group also came together for a few numbers!
We had an appreciative audience on hand that included a lady from Texas and a couple from Pennsylvania. The fiddle had everyone’s toes tapping and most were singing along with the many old favourites Lynn performed so well.
Below are some photos from the evening. Enjoy!
The Chestico Museum 2011 calendars are now available at the museum. This year, our calendar features men and women from the Chestico area who enlisted in World War I. The three WWI war brides who married Port Hood men are also included.
