Traditional Music from Cape Breton Island

On this disc we hear a true taste of a Cape Breton Ceilidh. Ironically, the recording took place some 3000 miles away, in Ireland, where the music, song and dance of this region of the Canadian Maritimes was the focus of a four day festival in February 1993, hosted by the Traditional Music Society and the Music Department of University College, Cork. The aim of the festival was to provide, in Cork, a platform for Cape Breton culture which, although a Celtic cousin, has had little exposure in Ireland prior to this occasion.
