When Cape Breton singer-songwriter Buddy MacDonald and fiddler and singer Rachel Davis get together on stage, you can expect a delightful evening of songs, stories, and tunes. And there’s sure to be a few laughs, too. Tickets are on sale at the door between 5 and 7pm. Admission includes tea and locally baked oatcakes. Cash only. Reservations recommended. Showtime 7:30pm.
