Beòlach and Breabach live at Celtic Colours

Annie’s New Heart Jigs: Egypt Road (John MacDougall) / Liz Kelly / Cridhe Ùr Annaig – Annie’s New Heart (Allan MacDonald)

Celtic Colours 2019 Artists in Residence—Cape Breton’s Beòlach and Breabach from Scotland—started getting together a year in advance to work on some special collaborations for this past Festival. Recorded during the Kicking Ash concert at Strathspey Performing Arts Centre in Mabou on October 15, this medley from Beòlach’s new album All Hands is a powerful set of tunes. In this performance, the additional pipes, whistles, fiddle, guitar, and double bass of Breabach amplify the energy of an already powerful set.
