Baddeck Gathering Céilidh: Rachel Davis & Darren McMullen

Rachel Davis and Darren McMullen are well-established and respected instrumentalists in the traditional music world who have spent more than a decade making records and touring the world as members of the award-winning group Còig. Earlier this year they released their first duo album, Home, which highlights the pair’s outstanding musicianship and vocals. Tickets are on sale at the door between 5 and 7pm. Admission includes tea and locally baked oatcakes. Cash only. Reservations recommended.
