The name “The Baddeck Gathering” Ceilidh came from a popular fiddle tune of the same name that was recorded by many Cape Breton musicians including Winston Fitzgerald, Howie MacDonald, Johnnie Wilmot and the late Charlie MacCuspic to whose memory the Baddeck Gathering Ceilidh is dedicated. 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.
