From St. John & Kansas City to Baddeck

Mike Hall and Jennifer Bowman set the audience feet tapping again in another rousing Monday night ceilidh.

Hailing from St. John, New Brunswick, Mike Hall has become a sought-after performer in Cape Breton music, even among connoisseurs of the music. He has captured a Margaree/Cheticamp flavor, which is quite distinctive to hear in the younger generation these days. His drive and solid rhythms send your feet to dance floor and exhilarate the ears. Mike expects to be working on a debut cd this fall, so we will look forward to its release in Spring 2009.

Visitors on the 18th included individuals from the length and breadth of North America, as well as Iran and Australia! One woman so enjoyed the ceilidh, with beaming smile she declared, "I was simply in heaven!"

Is this why Cape Breton is often referred to as God's Country?

See you at the ceilidh!
