À propos

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 the late Charlie MacCuspic to whose memory the Baddeck Gathering Ceilidh is dedicated. Born and raised in Antigonish, Dara Smith-MacDonald has been playing the fiddle for more than 20 years. With family roots in Inverness, she now resides in Port Hawkesbury and is known for her strong, lively playing and traditional style. Dara can often be found on stage with Adam Young, an award-winning and sought-after piano player from Marion Bridge who be found playing concerts, ceilidhs, square dances and sessions throughout Cape Breton, and has showcased his talents across the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Australia. Frequent collaborators over the years, the duo has recorded on two albums together. Tickets on sale at the door between 5 and 7pm. Admission includes tea and locally baked oatcakes. Cash only.
