Baddeck Gathering Céilidh: Rachel Davis and Darren McMullen

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 Winston Fitzgerald, Howie MacDonald, Johnnie Wilmot and the late Charlie MacCuspic to whose memory the Baddeck Gathering Ceilidh is dedicated. 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. Their award-winning first duo album, Home, was released last year and highlights the pair’s outstanding musicianship and vocals. Tickets on sale at the door between 5 and 7pm.
