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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

all over Canada, at festivals in the United States, and
as far away as Scotland and Ireland.
Chrissy’s lively set of

familiar to Cape Breton audiences and are frequently
played at dances and concerts across the Island.

Known as “The Man of a

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
