The world would be a much happier place indeed if this music was shared with everyone....nothing is more joyful than a Cape Breton fiddle!!!

[@joannemacdonald5400]

Agreed!

[@danielshane6487]

Cape Breton fiddlers are incredible. Music of the East Coast Scots. Long may Cape Breton and Caledonia live!!!

Music has a magical way of uniting people.. no language needed

During my stay in Antigonish for my Diploma Course with the Coady institute at Sr.Fx University in 2014 i came to know of the Celtic Colours music festival and my Canadian friend very much wanted to take me to Sydney, Cape Breton there as i am fiddle player but tickets were an issue and travel but i became a fan of Celtic Colours from then on. I have played fiddle with MBC of Antigonish in an impromptu. session who plays in Celtic colours festival. I know how rich the festival is. Love from South india.

[@craiglauder5481]

Praise God for the beautiful music Beolach has shared, and for the technology that allows it to be shared over the network.

Bonjour , quel plaisir ,je ne peux rester insensible à une telle musique ,et retrouver l'ambiance de ce pays que j'ai parcouru par 2 fois , la beauté des paysages, l'accueil des irlandais n'est pas une légende....🥰

[@erikm8372]

C'est en fait de la musique écossaise que vous entendez. Et pas même l'Écosse, mais la Nouvelle-Écosse, au Canada ! Le premier morceau, le plus lent, a été composé par un Allemand ! Mais le reste de la vidéo est purement écossais... c'est le même esprit chaleureux que celui des Irlandais. Mais ces gens sont originaires de l'île du Cap-Breton, en Nouvelle-Écosse, au Canada, au sud de Terre-Neuve. Leur musique a été apportée par les Écossais il y a plusieurs siècles. D'autres influences existent, comme la musique irlandaise, acadienne et québécoise, mais la musique du Cap-Breton est largement enracinée dans la musique écossaise des Highlands. La plupart des Irlandais ont immigré aux États-Unis, à Boston, New York, Philadelphie, San Francisco et dans les Appalaches, tandis que de nombreux Écossais ont quitté la Grande-Bretagne et se sont installés dans l'est du Canada, d'où le nom de la province "Nouvelle Écosse" ou "Nova Scotia".

They are freakin awesome! We've seen them in Maine years ago....but they stopped playing around these parts..great band, wonderful music, incredible shows. I get the shivers watching this.

[@erikm8372]

I live in San Diego, so, not exactly close to Nova Scotia, but man, if I lived in Maine (or anywhere in the northeast), I’d be taking my fiddle and going to Cape Breton regularly! I’m sure you can see or hear them play in some capacity in NS.

[@gordonstewart8258]

Always a pleasure seeing Natalie perform. No one has more fun with her music.

I saw Beolach here in the San Francisco Bay area back in 2003 but not since. They're a super-group; they all have their own projects so I believe no longer tour together but it's great to see them again in this video!

Well technically this is Scottish by way of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada… but they have their similarities 😉 Apparently the north side of the island has more Irish descendants.

The group is Beòlach. They have a few recordings available... enjoy! beolach.ca

ok, is the "voice of g(G)od" too much to describe what happens when these instruments and artists speak? When does the music overcome the flesh that produces it?

My God, Canada's beautiful, Steve. The disgrace that couldn't be acknowledged was a man's right as a King, above God. Not one day of cruelty ever ended, not one right that was not more than cruelly and coldly granted as the product of being fought for ever made sense to when God is small. But the Gates of Hell as a level cannot compete with the holy land of Cape Breton, or... Purgatory. If a million times reasoning of man was never the simple tolerableness for what it claimed was the half of it, yet had suffered past any end or beginning as such, was that. How much more the point is good and what's the problem? How any nation... could believe that even after... an extermination of any one world, that Jesus couldn't also in the greatest extent of lies - that kingdom that he said would not stand against his, the gates of hell - see that point, is evil.

[@perilouspoozer3749]

Lovely music but may I venture to say that I don’t much like the funky piano? It’s a distraction from the melody, IMO. Perhaps I’m too much of a traditionalist.

[@janekelton]

Traditional Cape Breton piano here; that's how they roll! May not suit your ears, but it suits many, esp. Cape Breton musicians and their fans.

[@perilouspoozer3749]

@@janekelton Ah - I didn't know that. Irish Traditional Dance Music is more my thing (I play Irish wooden flute) and I'm not knowledgeable about Cape Breton Music. But even with ITDM, there is sometimes a fashion for the use of "bim-dritt, bim-dritt" piano and (even worse) funky, syncopated bodhran in reels and some people love it but I can't stand it. But I have to accept that that's just me. Perhaps I need professional help! But, at 70, it's perhaps too late for me :-)

[@marconatrix]

Agree, seems out of place ... maybe you have to be well tanked up on the old uisge beatha ...

[@perilouspoozer3749]

@@marconatrix Yes, indeed (...hic!). IMO, piano in traditional music is supposed to be accompaniment. But sometimes the practitioners get carried away with wanting to be noticed. If I get more into this lovely Cape Breton music, I'll have to find some that doesn't include this distracting, funky "accompaniment", just as I have had to do so with Irish traditional dance music. The problem I have in ITDM is not that the piano is funky but that the constant "plink-plonk, plink-plonk" makes every reel sound the same. I've known it to ruin whole albums. But some people love it, it has to be said.
