About me

I am a staff member of the Celtic Colours International Festival in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Since 1997, the Celtic Colours International Festival has featured hundreds of musicians from all over the Celtic world and attracted tens of thousands of visitors to Cape Breton Island. For nine days in October, Cape Breton Island is home to a unique celebration of music and culture as the Celtic Colours International Festival presents dozens of concerts all over the island, an extensive line-up of workshops, a visual art series of exhibitions, and a nightly Festival Club. Over the years, artists have travelled from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England, Brittany, Spain, Denmark, Germany, and Cuba as well as from across the United States and Canada to join the finest of Cape Breton's musicians, singers, dancers, storytellers and tradition-bearers for the annual Autumn celebration.

Thanks for the comments! I agree that Colorado is very beautiful and so is Nova Scotia. In fact Nova Scotia is near the top of the list of places we really want to visit in North America. It looks likes October would be a good time to plan a visit-your festival looks fascinating. We have a large Scottish-Irish festival near us every September and it has always been our favorite. I once saw a performance of the Cape Breton style of step dancing. It was very different from the Irish style. Is the origin of the Cape Breton style known? I would guess that it must have its origin in Scotland or Ireland, yet it is very different. Have a great week.
