The Rankin Family Before "Discovery" outside of Cape Breton

A series of songs at a 1089 concert - ohhh those high heals. Remind me NEVER to wear high heals when I want to step dance, lol

[@smallmj2886]

They were real troopers. Despite all of the feedback and squeals from the sound system they just kept on singing perfectly.

the human brain omits that unless someone says something eh?

Love them since day one.

I'd love to see Ryan Rozicki use Lonely Island as his entrance song when Cape Breton is on the world stage in October

[@ronchow2010]

The 'Lonely Island' is not well known but is one of my favourite male vocal pieces. Too bad it has not been made more popular by radio stations and other broadcast media. The CD version done in a recording studio is even better. A great piece from the Rankin Family.

Rest well Raylene.

Hi Siobhan, I am wondering if you own this footage or if you know who does? Thanks so much! Amanda

[@jeanettedoucet1823]

Mary Janet!

[@dalianreport88]

According to the introduction this concert took place about two decades after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. I had absolutely no idea that technology was so advanced in the 11th Century!

[@elizamay6402]

Was this Big Pond? Broad Cove? Archie over at the announcer table? I wish whoever was on sound dropped the monitors just a hair.

[@jeanettedoucet1823]

I would say Broad Cove because of Archie Neil. Although it could be Glendale, I suppose.
