Cape Breton Ceilidh

We camped at the Municipal site in the township of present day Louisbourg, across the campsite was the Louisbourg Playhouse. Luckily, a ceilidh was available the night we were there. A ceilidh is a gaelic word meaning a gathering for entertainment. And by God, we were entertained! What a show, it was called Lyrics and Laughter and was put on by a group of very talented young performers playing traditional Cape Breton music and light-hearted skits in between the musical interludes. Fiddles, stepdancing, bodhrains, mandolins, all this and tea and oatcakes to boot!
