1. GENTICORUM
LES LOUPS
Les loups (traditional)

From the album: LE GALARNEAU
Courtesy of: Disques Roues et Archets & FAMGroup
Produced by: Genticorum & James Stephens
Recorded by: James Stephens at Stove Studios, Chelsea, Québec

A good description of Genticorum’s music might be high-energy, fast-paced, and fun. This Quebecois power trio treasures the musical traditions of its culture, weaving them carefully with both traditional and contemporary selections, performing them acoustically, and topping them off with powerful yet pleasing vocal harmonies. Genticorum’s sound has already taken them to five continents, including far-off places such as the British Isles, Scandinavia, Malaysia, Egypt, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as throughout North America.

Genticorum learned the song on this track from the collection of Jean-Paul Guimond, a singer from Wotton, Québec, and the reel from the playing of Yvon Mimeault of Gaspésie, Québec.

Produced by: Wendy MacIsaac
Recorded by: Mike Shepherd at Lakewind Studios,
Point Aconi, Cape Breton

Creignish native Wendy MacIsaac is considered one of the finest Cape Breton fiddlers of her generation. A contemporary of players such as Jackie Dunn-MacIsaac, Stephanie Wills, Glenn Graham, Natalie MacMaster, and Ashley MacIsaac, she has toured extensively with Beòlach, as part of Mary Jane Lamond’s band, as a guest of The Chieftains, and on her own. Equally comfortable as a pianist or a stepdancer, she has a deep understanding of the culture that has led her peers to consider her a tradition-bearer. Wendy is in constant demand for her talents as a performer and a teacher.

This group of tunes was recorded “off the floor” at a music session before a small audience at Lakewind Studios, Point Aconi, Cape Breton. This track has never been released before this Festival album.


3. CALUM ALEX MACMILLAN

Hailing from the Isle of Lewis, Calum Alex MacMillan has garnered a love and appreciation for the Gaelic culture that influenced his upbringing. The son of noted Gaelic singer, Seonaidh Beag MacMillan (a former member of Gaelic folk group, The Lochies), Calum Alex has been steeped in the culture since the day he was born. He has certainly proven his mettle, winning both the An Comunn Gold Medal and the Traditional Gold Medal at the Royal National Mod, as well as the prestigious Seann Nos Competition at the 2005 Pan Celtic Festival – all before he turned 22.

“Cliabh Dìneag” tells the story of an uncle’s amused view of how his niece looked as she went off to gather peat. Calum Alex’s father joins him for this song.


4. JASON ROACH
TOOTHBRUSH ISLAND
Andrew’s Slow Air (Jason Roach)
Genesis (reel, Jason Roach)

From the album: JASON ROACH
Courtesy of: Jason Roach
Produced by: Jason Roach
Co-produced by: Ian Hayes & Mike Shepherd
Recorded by: Mike Shepherd at Lakewind Studios,
Point Aconi, Cape Breton

A powerful piano player with a speedy right hand and a driving beat, Jason Roach is still in his early 20s but has already made a name for himself in Cape Breton Celtic music. Jason is a recent graduate of the celebrated jazz program at St. Francis Xavier University. He started playing piano at age 5 and has been playing Celtic style for the past ten years. A native of Cheticamp, Jason has composed and performed music that has taken him to stages as far afield as France and Italy and as close as the famed Doryman Beverage Room. Jason is also the 2007 winner of the Celtic Colours Festival Volunteer Drive’er Association Award, given to an up-and-coming traditional musician to assist with an initial album recording.

Toothbrush Island is a small tuft of land in the Bras d’Or Lakes. Andrew Aucoin, a Cheticamp fiddler and bus driver, used to claim that this island was where good fiddlers go when they die. This set of tunes from Jason’s self-titled CD includes a beautiful slow air dedicated to his late fiddling friend. Both tunes on this track are Jason’s own compositions.


5. GWENAN GIBBARD

From the album: Y GWENITH GWYNNAF
Courtesy of: Sain (Recordiau) Cyf
Produced by: Maartin Allcock
Recorded by: Siôn Alun Jones at Sain Studios, Llandwrog, Wales

With an intriguing voice and a precise playing style, Gwenan Gibbard has won many harp and singing competitions in her native Wales. Born into a family where music and culture were foremost, she now holds a Master’s Degree in performance and research in the field of Welsh music.

This traditional Welsh folk song gives a tongue-in-cheek account of a country girl’s mishaps while going about her daily chores. This lively song is also the opening cut on Gwenan’s debut CD, Y GWENITH GWYNNAF.


6. KRYSTA MACKINNON
KILLIECRANKIE SET
Killiecrankie (march, traditional)
The Braes of Tullymet (strathspey, traditional)

From the album: AFTERMATH
Courtesy of: Krysta MacKinnon
Produced by: Krysta MacKinnon & Roger MacKinnon
Recorded by: John Ellingbo at Dundee Sound, Dundee,
Cape Breton

Krysta MacKinnon is another one of the seemingly endless stream of young entertainers who have recently been making their mark in Cape Breton musical circles. After starting fiddle lessons at age ten, she soon began performing in concerts. Still only 16, she has graced stages around Cape Breton, the mainland of Nova Scotia, and across Canada. Krysta is a multi-talented instrumentalist and actress who also possesses a beautiful singing voice. For the past four years, she has been a member of The Fleur-de-Lis Trail Players, a music and comedy quartet that regularly performs throughout Cape Breton.

This set of traditional tunes begins with “Killiecrankie” (a Scottish march that has long been a favourite in Cape Breton) taken from Krysta’s first recording, which was released in 2006.


7. DAVID FRANCEY
Mill Towns (David Francey, Laker Music, SOCAN)

David Francey: Lead Vocals
Terry Tufts: Guitar
www.davidfrancey.com 

Courtesy of: David Francey & Glenn Meisner (CBC Radio)
Recorded live by: CBC Radio at Celtic Colours in 2004

Produced by: Glenn Meisner
Recording Engineer: Karl Falkenham
Mastering & Recording Engineer: Pat Martin

David Francey paints with words, giving visual descriptions that stand out in his songs. A storyteller with the ability to reach and hold an audience, David develops a personal rapport within minutes of coming on stage with his wry humour and astute observations on life and the world around him. Originally from Scotland, he now makes his home in Ontario.

This trip to Celtic Colours is David’s third visit as a performer. He was also at the Festival last year as part of a CBC Radio production crew doing a documentary on the event. During his second trip in 2004, CBC Radio recorded him live at the Bards and Ballads concert in Wagmatcook along with James Keelaghan, Dougie MacLean, Rita MacNeil, and Gordie Sampson.

When David initially came to Canada, his father worked in a paper mill in Ontario. “Mill Towns” tells of David’s experience in that town and his father’s desire that his son not work at the mill. The other musicians on stage and the hundreds of audience members join David for the chorus.


8. LAU
SOUTER CREEK
The Dog and the Rabbit (Kris Drever)
A Dog Called Bran
(reel, Aidan O’Rourke)
Souter Creek (reel, Aidan O’Rourke)
(Arranged by: Kris Drever, Martin Green, & Aidan O’Rourke – Reveal Publishing Ltd)

Kris Drever: Guitar
Aidan O’Rourke: Fiddle
Martin Green: Accordion
www.lau-music.co.uk 

From the album: LIGHTWEIGHTS & GENTLEMEN
Courtesy of: Tom Rose, Reveal Records (UK)
Produced by: Calum Malcolm
Recorded by: Stuart Hamilton at Castlesound, Pencaitland, Scotland

Kris Drever, Martin Green, and Aidan O’Rourke might be familiar to regular Celtic Colours Festival attendees, having performed here before as solo artists or as members of other bands. This time, they return as LAU, one of the most exciting new groups to emerge from Scotland in recent years.

Masters of intricate arrangements, the trio weaves its musical way easily through this medley. The first two tunes have a canine theme: The former is about a small dog that loses a fight to a rabbit; the latter is about a bigger dog named Bran that wins a fight against LAU’s own fiddler, Aidan. The final tune was written in honour of the best pizza restaurant in the Highlands – at least according to LAU.


9. DONNIE CAMPBELL
Music to Me (Bill Staines, Mineral River Music)

Donnie Campbell: Vocals, guitar
Laurel Martell: Vocals, backing vocals
Gordie Sampson: Lead acoustic guitar
Al Bennett: Bass
Fred Lavery: Guitar
Gordie LeVatte: Percussion

From the album: MUSIC TO ME
Courtesy of: Donnie Campbell
Produced by: Fred Lavery
Recorded by: Mike Shepherd at Lakewind Studios, Point Aconi, Cape Breton

Considered one of the most stalwart performers around the Sydney area and across Cape Breton, Donnie Campbell has been entertaining audiences since the late 1960s. A founding member of the bands Miller’s Jug and The Association of Jolly Beggermen, he has spent most of his career as a soloist. Donnie has toured extensively, performing across Canada and throughout much of the United States. An excellent lead and accompanying guitarist, he has been paired with fiddlers such as Carl MacKenzie and Winnie Chafe, creating an entertaining and popular combination.

In addition to his musical performances, Donnie is well-known as the host for Celtic Serenade, one of the longest running radio shows of its kind. For almost 35 years, he has played the music of Cape Breton, Scotland, and Ireland, sometimes branching out to include folk, bluegrass, and country.

Donnie learned “Music to Me” from the singing of Bill Staines’ 1991 CD, TRACKS & TRAILS. Staines’ recordings have often been played on Donnie’s show. On this track, you can hear and appreciate how country music has its roots in Celtic music.


10. saltfishforty
The Sweetness of Mary (strathspey, Joan MacDonald Boes)

Douglas Montgomery: Fiddle
Brian Cromarty: Guitar
www.saltfishforty.co.uk 

From the album: ORKNEY TWISTER
Courtesy of: saltfishforty
Produced by: saltfishforty & Jimi Troup
Recorded by: saltfishforty in halls, sheds, and bedrooms around Orkney, Scotland

saltfishforty is an Orkney Islands duo with a reputation for presenting traditional and original music in a fresh and lively fashion. They also possess a certain devil-may-care attitude that comes across in the production of their CD. For example, the liner notes and cover from their ORKNEY TWISTER CD is almost totally devoid of punctuation and capitalization, including
the name of the band.

“The Sweetness of Mary” is a beautiful tune written by Cape Breton pianist Joan MacDonald Boes, who spent many years in Detroit and recorded with The Five MacDonald Fiddlers. To many, Jerry Holland’s version is probably the most familiar, but saltfishforty gives the tune a suitably emotional and touching treatment.


11. SANGSTERS
Lover’s Heart (Andy M. Stewart, Strathmore Music)

Anne Combe Murray: Vocals
Fiona Forbes: Vocals
Scott Murray: Vocals, guitar
John Blackwood: Vocals, guitar
Wendy Weatherby: Cello

From the album: SHARP AND SWEET
Courtesy of: Greentrax
Recordings, Scotland
Produced by: Sangsters
Recorded by: Ian McCalman at Kevok Studios, Lasswad, Scotland

Sangsters are a Scottish group from Fife who place a firm accent on vocals. With a deep repertoire of traditional songs and a wonderful collection of work from the pen of Robert Burns, they also carefully select contemporary material. Since everything is arranged for solo singing and harmonies, the deft use of simple accompaniment allows their voices to shine through as they should.

“Lover’s Heart,” a song by Andy M. Stewart (formerly of the Scottish band Silly Wizard) is a contemporary tune considering the traditional notion about parting with the optimism of a fast and safe return.


12. CHRISSY CROWLEY
IRISH TUNES
East of Glendart (jig, traditional)
The Lilting Banshee (jig, traditional)
The Black Rogue (jig, traditional)
The Silver Spear (jig, traditional)

Recorded by: Mike Shepherd at Lakewind Studios,
Point Aconi, Cape Breton

Young and dynamic, Chrissy Crowley has a rich musical pedigree that pours out of her music. The granddaughter of Newfoundland fiddler Bill Crowley and Cape Breton fiddler Archie Neil Chisholm, Chrissy lives in the beautiful Margaree area of Cape Breton – a place known to cherish and foster its musical culture. Still only in her teens, she has played all over Canada, at festivals in the United States, and as far away as Scotland and Ireland.

Chrissy’s lively set of Irish tunes is taken from her first CD. Many of them are familiar to Cape Breton audiences and are frequently played at dances and concerts across the Island.


13. RON HYNES
Piccadilly Sand Farewell (Ron Hynes/
Émile Benoit – SOCAN)

Ron Hynes: Vocals
Curly Boy Stubbs: Guitar, mandolin, electric bass
Tom Leighton: Piano, accordion
Don Reed: Fiddle
www.hynesite.org 

From the album: RON HYNES
Courtesy of: Borealis Recording Company Ltd.
Produced by: Paul Mills
Recorded by: Paul Mills at
The Millstream, Toronto

Known as “The Man of a Thousand Songs,” Ron Hynes is one of Canada’s most highly respected songwriters. Singers such as Emmylou Harris, Christy Moore, Mary Black, and Denny Doherty (of The Mamas and the Papas) have recorded his work internationally. With a songwriting career spanning more than 35 years, the singer and actor is a six-time East Coast Music Award winner, a Genie Award winner, and a past Juno, CCMA, and Canadian Folk Music Awards nominee. His latest self-titled recording is a collection of material (all of which Ron wrote or co-wrote) that spans his career. Often introspective, the album is equal parts dark, gritty, light, and zestful.

Co-written with the late Newfoundland fiddler Émile Benoit, “Piccadilly Sand Farewell” is a delightfully-arranged, cheerful sounding song with a sad undercurrent of going off to war.


14. JERRY HOLLAND
THE HOUSE MEDLEY
The Musical Chisholm Household (reel, Jerry Holland)
House Hunting (reel, Jerry Holland)

Jerry Holland: Fiddle
Kieran O’Hare: Uilleann Pipes

Lakewind Studios, Point Aconi, Cape Breton
www.jerryholland.com

Jerry Holland is one of the world’s best musicians and composers of contemporary Celtic music. His tunes have been recorded by some of the Celtic world’s very best musicians and bands, including Altan, De Danann, Capercaillie, Nomos, Liz Carroll, Alasdair Fraser, Ashley MacIsaac, Buddy MacMaster, Natalie MacMaster, Frankie Gavin, Sharon Shannon, and many others.

One of Cape Breton’s true masters of the bow, Jerry has been entertaining audiences and inspiring budding musicians since the age of six. Jerry made his first television appearance at the age of seven when he stepdanced while fiddling on Don Messer’s Jubilee, a variety show that aired in Canada from 1959-1969. If Jerry was not the first to accomplish this entertaining feat, he certainly introduced it to a wider audience. As an adult, Jerry has continued to mature and develop into one of the world’s greatest Celtic artists, having toured most of the world. His passion and dedication for performance, composition, and the Cape Breton tradition is legendary.

On this previously unreleased track recorded August 10, 2007, Jerry is joined by his longtime friend and renowned uilleann piper Kieran O’Hare. Kieran will be releasing this track on his own upcoming album.

Born into a musical Irish-American family in Kansas, Kieran began to play at home starting on the tin whistle and then progressing to the pipes. In 1994, Kieran received the honor of being the first American-born player of Irish music invited to perform in the annual Ace and Deuce of Piping concert, held in Ireland’s National Concert Hall. Included among the many artists with whom Kieran has performed, toured, or recorded are Jerry Holland, J.P. Cormier, Mick Moloney, the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, and Irish choral supergroup ANUNA. In 2006-07, Kieran was the featured piper on Broadway in the new musical The Pirate Queen. He resides in Chicago with his wife, the esteemed fiddler Liz Knowles.

Recorded by: Dave Gunning at Riverfront Studios,
New Glasgow, Nova Scotia
(Tim Doucet & George Canyon provided engineering assistance)

Lewis MacKinnon (also known by his Gaelic name Lodaidh MacFhionghain) is currently the CEO of the Office of Gaelic Affairs for the Province of Nova Scotia. Lewis’s deep, rich voice has graced many stages around Atlantic Canada over the years, both as a Gaelic soloist and as a member of the Nova Scotia-based Celtic band Jug In Hand.

HERE (A’ SEO) is his first solo recording and is dedicated to his great-uncle Dougald MacDougall, a Cape Mabou native who lived with the MacKinnon family in Antigonish County for fifteen years. Dougald inspired Lewis, teaching him his first phrases of native Nova Scotia Gaelic, which eventually became Lewis’s second language. Dougald’s impact is also evident throughout the liner notes of Lewis’s album and in his interpretation and presentation of this selection of Gaelic song.

“Ailein Duinn” recounts the suffering of a girl who hears news that her sweetheart has drowned. This traditional song receives a fresh and soulful treatment at the hands of Lewis and his musical friends. Though a contemporary adaptation, it still retains the emotional impact of the original version.

Hailing from Sydney Mines, Leanne Aucoin has been playing music since she was a child. An accomplished fiddler, pianist, and dancer, she is in high demand in the Cape Breton performance circuit. Over the past few years, Leanne has spread her musical wings, performing across Canada, parts of the United States, and as far away as Ireland. She is also passing along her gifts to up-and-coming performers, both as a teacher in the Cape Breton school system and as a summer session instructor at the Gaelic College in St. Ann’s, Cape Breton.

Coming from a musical family, Leanne surrounds herself with family members on this final track of her first recording. Her father, her aunt, and her brother (another accomplished fiddler) join her on this track.

From the album: VISHTEN

Produced by: Vishten & Donnie Chapman
Recorded by: Donnie Chapman at Les Chalets Aboiteaux,
Cap-Pelé, N.B., and DC Productions, Dartmouth, N.S.

Vishten is a dynamic group of talented young Acadians who are passionate about the music and dance from their regions of Prince Edward Island and the Magdalen Islands. In seven years, they have become genuine cultural ambassadors, representing their culture in world-class folk and Celtic festivals. They never ceased to spread this exceptional heritage during a time when history did not become known except through the arts. In 2000, this group first experienced success in Canada, then quickly in the United States, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and other countries. They attribute their unique sound to the richness of their culture and their own experiences.

To quote Vishten: “A music from the new Acadie – a music that stands out from what existed. These original compositions reflect our exchanges with other cultures.” With an infectious presentation and tunes performed in traditional and contemporary styles, Vishten’s fervor can rouse even the quietest of audiences.

FIT À MARIER weaves a traditional song back and forth through a well-known traditional tune.

Mike Shepherd
Recorded by: Mike Shepherd at Lakewind Studios,
Point Aconi, Cape Breton

Hailing from Ontario, but with roots firmly fixed in both Nova Scotia and Scotland, Colin has been involved with Cape Breton’s music scene since moving here as a teenager in the 1990s. Over time, he has developed into a powerful fiddler and has also mastered a number of other instruments. For the past six years, he has been a member of Lyrics & Laughter, a summertime production of music and comedy that appeared nightly at the Louisbourg Playhouse. Colin has also found time to record his self-titled CD and one entitled LYRICS & LAUGHTER (both of which received East Coast Music Award nominations), to record and tour with the band Blou (which received two ECMA nominations), and to play with the band Pogey. He also carries on a busy solo career that has taken him all over the world and teaches private fiddle lessons, all the while studying full-time at university. He is currently continuing his studies in France. Furthermore, he was the first winner of the Celtic Colours Festival Volunteer Drive’er Association Award, given to an up-and-coming traditional musician to assist with an initial album recording.

Colin starts this set with his own tune written for fellow musician Troy MacGillivray. It is initially played as a slow march but is then played again as a reel. He follows this composition with a pair of well-known tunes from Scotland.
