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. Kyle and Colin MacDonald are brothers from Inverness, Cape Breton, who deliver a lively sound and showcase a variety of Gaelic traditions. From an early age, the brothers were steeped in music from both sides of the family and eventually began playing music together with Kyle on fiddle and Colin on piano. Tickets are on sale at the door between 5 and 7pm. Admission includes tea and locally baked oatcakes. Cash only. Reservations recommended.
