Howie MacDonald and Mac Morin - Reel Set at the Judique Celtic Music Interpretive Centre
It doesn’t get much better than this. Two of Cape Breton’s finest, Howie and Mac are at the intimate venue that is the Celtic Music Interperative Centre.
Located in Judique Cape Breton, the Centre is a must stop on Route 19, Canada’s Musical Coast. Monday to Friday there is lunch with live music. Today’s recording is the Sunday Ceilidh, which often turns into a square set (dance). This is the third figure which is the reel set. You can hear the dancers clapping near the end, signalling they have completed the figure. This is a great venue to get a taste of a CB square dance. But I highly recommend the real thing. Do not visit Cape Breton without going to a dance…! That’s a direct order from General John Cabot Trail…!
Tune names anyone?
Recorded August 4, 2024

One of the greats of Cape Breton fiddle, at one of my favourite venues. A southpaw, note the distinctive style. He rolls the fiddle, making the strings meet the bow. Chestico Museum is an old school house in Harbourview Cape Breton, a hair south of Port Hood. The staff is very helpful in genealogy pursuits. I like the venue because you get the fiddle “unplugged”.

It's just busy in there. I'm sure folks were still much enjoying the tunes! Also it likely seemed a bit amplified simply due to my use of headphones.
