Beòlach

More than 20 years ago these dynamic solo performers came together to jam at a late-night session during the Celtic Colours International Music Festival in Cape Breton… this session was the spark that lit Beòlach. Throughout their history as Beòlach, the original members which include Wendy MacIsaac (fiddle, piano, stepdance), Mac Morin (piano, stepdance, accordion) and Màiri Rankin (fiddle, stepdance) have maintained solo careers as musicians and collaborated with some of the most renowned artists on the traditional music scene. In their solo careers, they have been nominated for various East Coast Music Awards, Nova Scotia Music Awards, and several Canadian Folk Music Awards. They have appeared on Grammy and Juno winning albums and worked with artists of all genres. The demands of their successful solo careers as well as the realities of life and family put Beòlach on temporary hiatus. However, after this brief pause, Beòlach has again sparked up again from hot embers with their latest recording, All Hands. The core members Wendy, Mac and Màiri have welcomed Matt MacIsaac (bagpipes, whistles, guitar), re-forming the group as a quartet. Matt brings an extensive repertoire of bagpipe music, experience as a professional touring musician. He has won top honours at world piping competitions and cites influences such as his three uncles and the MacDonald brothers of Glenuig, Scotland.

Tickets are $42.50 All In
