Baddeck Gathering Céilidh: Chrissy Crowley & Jason Roach

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. Chrissy Crowley is an award-winning traditional fiddler and recording artist from Margaree who embraces the music of her roots and makes it her own. With a style all his own, and an unparalleled intensity on the keyboard, Jason Roach is one of the most impressive piano players you will ever hear. Chrissy and Jason perform together regularly including many years spent playing, recording, and touring with award-winning Cape Breton supergroup Còig. Tickets are on sale at the door between 5 and 7pm. Admission includes tea and locally baked oatcakes. Cash only. Reservations recommended.
