The lineup for this year's Celtic Colours Festival in Cape Breton is now online.

Check it out at

Celtic Colours

This year, a member of the Sands Family, Tommy Sands, will be coming to the festival for the first time!

Celtic Colours is a festival held on Cape Breton Island in many different venues all across the island over the space of 9 days. It starts on the Friday of the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday (second Monday of October), and lasts until the following Saturday (well REALLY the Sunday morning). There are 3 to 4 different venues in the evening each night, and sometimes a matinee as well.

For the Gaelic community Celtic Colours will also have for the first time, Donnie Murdo MacLeod, originally of Lewis. AS well, Margaret Bennett will return for a third appearance. Lots of other interesting acts as well. Have a look at the link, and start booking B&B's and airplane tickets.

Sounds good, as usual, George. And just as usual, there is not much likelihood that I will get up there, though I think about it most every year.

Heck, the Cottars are in Memphis on Sunday, and I have just about talked myself out of going on even that short trip. Too much going on around here.

One recommendation ~~ get to see Dirk Powell and Christine Balfa if their schedule and yours are compatible. I have seen (and enjoyed) both, though at different times.

Does Sian James sing in Welsh or English?

Will try to, Dale.

Sian sings in Welsh. At least, she has every time I've heard her ...
Accompanies herself on the harp usually. I don't know if she's taking her back-up group this time.

Unbelieveable lineup !!! Alas, unless business picks up dramatically, I'll be missing yet another one.

Sorry to hear, Gnu.

They've updated several of the venues with additional performers. Tickets should be available to purchase within another week, if last year is any indication.

I saw Tommy Sands at last year's "Maghull Day of Folk". What a charmer! The audience loved him. Had a nice chat with him. What a lovely, approachable guy.
