Tri Nova Scotia Celtic Fiddle Dance Story & Song
Doug Lamey- Fiddler
Pam Campbell-dancer
Christine Morrison-dancer
Cliff McGann-guitarist
From Ireland
This group is from Boston, but one of their grandparents is from Nova Scotia and really helps them to embrace the traditions of the culture. Also they get a lot of there cultural roots from the irish community in the Boston area.
I think its very interesting how the group starts with just music no dance. They give the feel of the tune and really get it going before the dancers join in. Then when they do join you already have the beat and tune in your ear so watching is so fun and easy! Even though they aren't from Ireland, I think it's really cool how they keep their eyes and ears open for any culture bearers in the area and use them as much as they can to get a feel for the music. They sound great and the dancers are almost always in sync. I would call this authentic to the best of their ability.
