Boston Kiltics Nova Scotia Celtic Fiddle Dance Story & Song

We are four Bostonians who perform celtic folk music fromNova Scotia. We all have at least one parent from Nova Scotia and spent lots of time there growing up. We also embrace being from Boston and have been influenced by the rich Irish traditions of our area. Our fiddler Doug Lamey is the grandson of Boston CapeBreton fiddling legend Bill Lamey. He's been playingsince he was a kid and has studied with some of thegreats from both the Cape Breton tradition (BuddyMacMaster) and Irish fiddle scene (Tommy Peoples). http://www.douglamey.com/We are lucky to have two of the best stepdancers inthe Boston area, Pam Campbell and Christine Morrison.Pam is the daughter of fiddling legend John Campbell.Christine is the daughter of Peggy Morrison who ispresident of the Gaelic Club in Watertown, MA. Pam & Christine have been dancing together for 16 years and have shared the stage with Natalie MacMaster and Ashley MacIsaac to drop some names. I sing in both English and Scottish Gaelic. Iplay guitar and Irish Tin whistle and make my living as amusician/storyteller. I am steeped in Irish music on my dads side of the family (Clifford's in Sliabh Luachra) and Scottish on moms side. I recieved my MA in Folklore from Memorial University in Newfoundland. http://www.cliffmcgann.com/We'... all played together informally over the years butare finally making it official. We've settled on thename The Boston Kiltics as it captures our love of Scottish folk music but also the fact we are from Boston and proud. This was recorded for a local TV station and is only our second official gigtogether.Visit us on the Web @ http://www.bostonkiltics.comVi... us on MySpace @ http://www.myspace.com/bostonk...
