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. Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Rose Morrison from Baddeck is joined by Cape Breton Music Industry Hall of Fame singer-songwriter Buddy MacDonald from the North Shore. This will be one dandy Gathering tonight. 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.
