Nova Scotia's is MIANS |

20 Jan 03 - 07:00 AM (#870385) Subject: RE: Celtic group from Nova Scotia From: gnu moo... "Rawlins Cross from Halifax, NS?" Who's from Halifax ? Oh... maybe this is a new Rawlins Cross ? |

20 Jan 03 - 07:38 AM (#870410) Subject: RE: Celtic group from Nova Scotia From: gnu I always thought they were based out of St. John's, Newfoundland... but you may be right. Anyone know for sure ? Their web page isn't up or my address for it is old. I just figured such because the name, Rawlins Cross, is a location in downtown St. John's, three of the guys were from St. John's (one Caper and one Islander) and I first saw them in a pub in St. John's. |

20 Jan 03 - 11:10 AM (#870583) Subject: RE: Celtic group from Nova Scotia From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Sort of half and half, guys. Ian MacKinnon had/has his offices in Halifax. I believe the rest of the guys were based out of Newfoundland. |

21 Jan 03 - 07:41 AM (#871324) Subject: RE: Celtic group from Nova Scotia From: gnu Well, Joey Kitson, lead vocals (amazing to hear the power and to listen to him hold a note for what seems forever - his performance on "Long Night", a tribute to Newfoundlander Emile Benoit, was more than amazing) is from PEI. MacKinnon is the Caper (Cape Breton Island) I referred to. |

22 Jan 03 - 10:06 AM (#872192) Subject: RE: Celtic group from Nova Scotia From: GUEST So what is the answer to the original question ? I am curious as to who this group is. |

22 Jan 03 - 12:41 PM (#872305) Subject: RE: Celtic group from Nova Scotia From: gnu I think I saw another thread with Vishten or something similar it the title... could that be the answer ? |

23 Jan 03 - 11:17 AM (#872887) Subject: RE: Celtic group from Nova Scotia From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Guest, see the Jan 20th message from Will Bakker. Around 2:30PM. It's Vishten. Will started another thread. Apparently he's looking for CDs by them. The only CD apparently is one under the OLD name, Celtitude. |

23 Jan 03 - 11:49 AM (#872920) Subject: RE: Celtic group from Nova Scotia From: Nerd Vishten/Celtitude are pretty good. Saw them at ECMA a couple years ago. Rawlins Cross was formed in St. John's (in fact, it's named after an intersection just off Bannerman Park). But like many groups, they moved their headquarters to Halifax because it's so much easier to tour out of there; they also picked up several Nova Scotian musicians along the way. For Newfoundlanders it was a little weird to hear about "Halifax band Rawlins Cross" because that's a little like a band called Times Square who come from Philadelphia! |
