My first night in Cape Breton was at the Pipers’ Ceilidh during the Féis An Eilein Gaelic festival in Christmas Island, Nova Scotia. The evening was filled with Cape Breton music and step dancing as the pipers, fiddlers and piano accompaniment added to the traditional tunes.
Below is a video of Anita MacDonald, a student from the Little Narrows, Cape Breton, step dancing to Ryan J. MacNeil’s piping. The Féis An Eilein takes place at the Christmas Island Fire Hall on route 223.
