Storm’s blowing in, so I’m sitting inside listening to Cape Breton fiddle to perk up a Friday afternoon. The Beaton Family, Rachel Davis, Natalie McMaster, the MacGillivray’s, Chrissy Crowley - there are so many awesome fiddlers preserving #NovaScotia and #CapeBretonIsland musical traditions. The recently concluded #CelticColours festival across the Island is the greatest #Celtic music festival in N. America imo. Here’s a sample of the Beaton Sisters performing at the Celtic Colours afterparty at St. Anne’s Gaelic College (the only one in N. America). #music #Fiddle #FolkMusic #Canada https://youtu.be/xCSk5waVkxI?si=HJHGpgGda5pPDs9t

🧵4/ final - Finishing off the #MusicVideo thread for a Friday evening, and continuing the #CelticMusic theme, here are Cape Breton Island’s Beaton Sisters playing on the stage of the #CelticColours music festival. This is one of my favorite pieces ever. It starts slow, but if it doesn’t get your feet tapping by the end… you don’t have a pulse or you’re stone deaf. #Music #Fiddle #CapeBreton #CapeBretonIsland #CanadianMusic #CanadianMade https://youtu.be/xCSk5waVkxI?si=Cj17DvUzk8rsFVYs

Two great groups jam at #CelticColours my favorite #CelticMusic festival held annually on Nova Scotia’s beautiful #CapeBretonIsland - best venues, best music, best locals, best drives and a great after show bash at the Gaelic College nightly. All the greats have played there, but the locals often steal the show. The Rankin Family, the Beaton Sisters, the McGillivrays, the MacIssacs, the Barra-McNeils, the list of local notables goes on-and-on. https://youtube.com/watch?v=7npkGfFhO3o&feature=share #music #FolkMusic #irishmusic #ScottishMusic #Fiddle
