Gearin' up!

I hear a fiddler in the next room polishing a few new tunes she gleaned over the winter;
I hear the *ting ting ting* of the piano tuner, making certain every string of the piano is tuned and ready for action;
I hear the clickety clickety of a dancer rehearsing a new step;
without a doubt, it is almost time for the start of the 2010 Ceilidh season!

In just a few days, Melody and Derrick Cameron will ignite the fires of this year's series in their eloquent and driving way. Thursday July 1st marks the start, and thenceforth throughout the summer, every night at St. Michael's parish hall will be packed and bouncing with different musicians, all of them recognized and beloved, locally and beyond.

It isn't an event to missed - but don't take my word for it - see for yourself!

If you are travelling through Cape Breton, you simply have to make room in your schedule for at least one of our ceilidhs. You will leave with a smile having heard toe-tapping traditional Cape Breton fiddle and piano music, received an education in Celtic culture, seen dancers, drank tea and enjoyed local baked goods.
A must-do event if this is your first time in Cape Breton.
It is definitely an evening well spent!

There is an intermission for beverages and treats, as well as a selection of cds and other crafts for sale.

Come out and see what others are talking about, and what you may have missed if you've never been!

See you at the ceilidh!
