Cape Breton/Scottish Kitchen Ceilidh, featuring Sean Smith, Doug Lamey and Katie McNally May 16, 2009

An evening of fiddle tunes and songs from the Cape Breton and Scottish traditions.

*Doug Lamey -- grandson of Bill Lamey, an extraordinary Cape Breton fiddler and contributor to Boston's Scottish and Cape Breton heritage -- has studied and performed for several years all over North America and has a true pride and passion for the traditional style of Scottish and Cape Breton fiddling, just like his grandfather. Doug has appeared regularly at events in the Greater Boston area, often with guitarist Cliff McGann -- both have played in recent years as part of the popular band The Boston Kiltics and in the new group Tri.

*Katie McNally, runner-up Junior National Scottish Fiddle Champion, has performed with and opened up for such notable musicians as Hanneke Cassel, Brittany Haas, and Laura Risk. She has played at such venues as the Cantab Lounge; the Boston Celtic Music Festival; Brighton College in Brighton, England; the New Hampshire Highland Games; and Club Passim. An active member of the Boston Celtic music scene, Katie can be seen playing with Scottish fiddle band 5 A.M., local contra-dance band, Oh CONTRAire!, and the bluegrass group Boston Road. Throughout the year, Katie teaches Scottish and Cape Breton fiddle and in the summer, she travels across the country to fiddle camps like Valley of the Moon, Mark O'Connor's Fiddle Camp, and the Boston Harbor Scottish Fiddle School. Recently, Katie has become involved in the Scottish Country Dance community and often plays for dances and events in the Boston area.

*Whether in concert or just among friends, Sean has long enjoyed playing music and singing songs from the traditions of England, Ireland and Scotland. Sean has performed as a soloist and as a member of several bands (not necessarily all at the same time) at places like Club Passim, the Boston Celtic Music Fest, The Oasis Coffeehouse, the Concerts at the Captain's House Series and the ICONS Festival. He also tries to get out regularly to sessions around Boston, whether in pubs or parlors.
