Just read a thread about Richard Wood of PEI, and it reminded me of a wonderful fiddle festival which is held every year the Third Weekend in July. Richard is there almost every summer as well as Natalie McMaster, Brenda Stubert, J.P. Cormier...to name a few and a wealth of talent within the Chaisson Family whose land hosts the event. J.J. Chaisson is fast approaching 18 years has played since age 3.. and is just amazing.. He and a few of his cousins are members of Celtic Tide a band which you will be hearing from VERY soon they are recording their first CD as I write.. If you are in PEI( and you really should go) be sure to stop at the Rollo Bay Fiddle Grounds.. There is a Celidh every Thursday from June to October.. and big concerts at the site through the summer.. KGH
