Another good ceilidh Wednesday the 16th with a selection of really great visitors sharing their talents as well!

One pianist who has become a regular at Baddeck in the last couple years is Marion Dewar. A seasoned accompanist, she has toured Europe and parts of the States with Jerry Holland and now is very in-demand locally. She will be around most every Wednesday over July and August, and let me say, she was on fire this evening! Great chording, Marion!


Becky and John (hope I remember those names right!) from London, Ontario shared some Irish session tunes with us on the fiddle and concertina and Bill from Tarbot, Nova Scotia told a humorous story in Gaelic and English.


We also had 2 visitors from Scotland and one from Liverpool, in addition to our normal mix of Canadians and Americans. One of the Scottish folks was able to educate us on the geographical origin of the term 'strathspey.' It is apparently from a valley (not a town) in the northeast of Scotland. We can all learn from each other.

See you at the ceilidh!
