6 Margaree Road, Baddeck

The name “The Baddeck Gathering” Céilidh 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 Céilidh is dedicated. Neil McDaniel, from Margaree Forks, holds true to his Irish heritage in his singing and performances on mandolin, guitar, banjo, whistles, and piano. Kevin LeVesconte is a fiddler and pianist from St. Peter’s who has been immersed in Cape Breton’s rich traditional music and culture his whole life. Tickets are on sale at the door between 5 and 7pm.
