Here's an article from the Cape Breton Post, Friday October 5 :

Colour your world
Celtic Colours International Festival opens tonight

SYDNEY — It may take place in Cape Breton but Ciar**SPAM? PLEASE REPORTn MacGillivray describes the Celtic Colours International Festival as a homecoming for Celtic musicians and fans from all over the globe.
“Even if you’re not from here, it feels like a homecoming, I think. Everybody’s so friendly and the performers just love the audiences here. Everybody’s so receptive and because it takes place all over the island, everybody gets to really see some fantastic music. It’s really a community event,” said Ciar**SPAM? PLEASE REPORTn, who will perform with his sister Fiona in tonight’s opening night concert, headlined by The Chieftains. The show, which has standing-room-only tickets left, takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre.
“We’re so excited. We haven’t performed at Celtic Colours for a little while and it’s always nice to play at home,” he said.
Tonight’s show will also feature well-known Cape Breton artists Ashley MacIsaac, Mary Jane Lamond and Wendy MacIsaac who, like The Cottars’ Ciar**SPAM? PLEASE REPORTn and Fiona, have all had the opportunity to perform or tour with the world-renowned Chieftains.
“The Chieftains themselves are, of course, Celtic music gods, so people who are coming to see them are going to see nothing short of sheer magic. Anybody who’s in the audience for The Chieftains is lucky. We feel twice as lucky to be on the stage with them,” said Ciar**SPAM? PLEASE REPORTn. “They’re just incredibly nice people and just extraordinary musicians and we were very fortunate to be able to tour with them a couple years back so this is kind of a reunion show.”
