Mr. Red.

Wish he did, but Tom Lewis lives on the opposite coast, in British Columbia.

Another possibility would be the Gaelic College. In September most of the facilities are not being used. It's mainly used in the June through August time frame with another 2 weeks in October for Celtic Colours.

It would be similar to what was described above, since it is away from it all, near to nature in one of the most picturesque regions of Nova Scotia. It has dorms, and a strong musical base in that Cape Breton is such a source of traditional music. Englishtown's Leon Dubinsky is just up the road a few miles. He wrote the song Rise Again which Raylene Rankin made world reknown. Allister MacGillivray and Kenzie MacNeil, and many other familiar Cape Breton Songwriters have songs in the DT.
