For those of you who have been lamenting the lack of Cape Breton type music availability on the Web, well, good news!

Last year, the plans for the Kitchen Party was cancelled by the untimely strike of some of their employees. However, the CBC luckily had some skilled negotiators and those plans were merely shelved instead of being totally cancelled. Here is some information they sent me today:

Ashley will be the featured act on the first show of the Nova Scotia Kitchen Party.
The 11 week series will be broadcast live from Pier 21 in downtown Halifax on Saturday afternoons, Feb. 19 - April 29 between 4:05 - 5:00. The show will be heard live in Canada on CBC Radio One, live in Scotland on BBC, as well as on shortwave radio Radio Canada International, in many parts of the world and of course, as part of CBC Radio's streaming, around the world on real audio on the internet........CBC.CA and look for Kitchen Party.

Come and enjoy. This will start roughly the third or fourth weekend of February! Thank GOODNESS! I have to work at least during the morning, counting inventory. It'll be SO great to relax afterwards at the Kitchen Party.
