Glace Bay on Sunday November 16th. The show will feature the Cape Breton
Chordsmen's the only male Barbershop Harmony Group in Cape Breton, who will regale
their audience by celebrating the 50 anniversary of the British invasion of the
pop music, with songs from the Beatles. An evening of popular tunes of the 60’s
and 70’s along with audience participation is guaranteed to take you down
memory lane. The theme of the night will be carried throughout the evening by the
Chordsmen ‘s special guest performers, the Breton Songbirds and Godsent and Quattro.
The host for the evening will be Steve Sutherland of CBC Information Morning. The
performance will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20.00 and can be purchased at the
Savoy or from any member of the Cape Breton Chordsmen. This should be a super

A Must See Cape Breton Experience- Cape Breton Smile New Hit Musical of 2014-October Schedule
Here is some information on one of Cape Breton's Best Productions of the Summer and Fall Season, which takes place at the MacAulay Conference Centre, at the Inverary Inn, in Baddeck.Here is their October Schedule and some information on the show. Performances will take place on October 6, 9, 10, 17 and 22nd. Time for the show is 8pm to 10:30pm and tickets are $39.70 for adults and $33.35 for children.
Cape Breton Smile is a highly entertaining musical theatrical production delivering that perfect blend of song, message, and “home spun” passion. It features some of the very best talent in Atlantic Canada and utilizes the latest computer technology with a 45 foot, 6 screen/projector backdrop that displays spectacular images and video. This amazing program has been assembled by world-class professionals Wally Hayes and Chris Hayes (WAVE Productions) whose credits are notable in the field of visual support. Together with the all-star cast, they create the magic that accompanies the songs and performances that make this show a top quality must-see.
Bob Quinn, Cape Breton Island composer, arranger, producer,
musician Bob Quinn is the man who has been selling Nova Scotia through music
and song for decades. In 2014, he returns with Cape Breton Smile, the most
dynamic and original production ever produced in Baddeck, Cape Breton Island,
Nova Scotia. Quinn is the ‘man of Nova Scotia anthems’ –(Sail On, Nova Scotia,
Welcome to the Ceilidh, My Love Cape Breton and Me, Christmas in Canada, and
many others).
Other entertainers
include Jennifer is a well know Cape Breton performer who was a home-town
favorite while growing up in Sydney Mines. Boyd MacNeil grew up as the youngest in a
musical family and started to play violin at an early age taking lessons from
Dan MacDonald of North Sydney. Stewart MacNeil, perhaps best known for creating
music with his siblings, the Barra MacNeils. Lucy MacNeil, has performed for the last 27 years with the
well known group, The Barra MacNeils, she is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist
and step dancer and mother of two. And
last but not least by far is Kevin Evans, who is well known as part of the
group Evans and Doherty who have been in constant demand worldwide. This has to
be one of the best line ups of talent to showcase a performance on Cape Breton
Island outside of the major Celtic Colours productions.

Another Successful Year for the Cape Breton Paddlefest, See You Again Next Year.
The 4 Annual Paddlefest has completed another successful event. Approximately 40 paddlers from around the province came into St. Peter's to take part. The organizers of the Paddlefest surpassed the expectations of the attendees. Tim White of Rising Tide Expeditions who has been the driving force since Paddlefest began, was joined this year by Angelo Spinazzola of North River Kayak, Eberhard Witt of Kayak Cape Breton and Cottages, Michelle Richards organizer of the Point Michaud Surf Classic and Surf instructor for the Recreation Department for the County of Richmond, as well as members of Nova Scotia Paddling Association, who assisted with the running of the event.
The paddlers who attended were treated to music on both Friday and Saturday evening, and enjoyed presentations and guided tours both in the bay and at Point Michaud Beach as well as on the Bras d'Or Lake, with a special tour provided by tourism operators at Potlotek. Mi'Kmaw tour guides took a group of the paddlers out around Chapel Island and then the group were treated to a meal. All in all the group had a exceptional time in Richmond with even the weather co-operating with mild temperatures. Thanks to all the paddlers for taking in the annual event and to the organizers for all their hard work to make the event a success, and to the Bras d'Or Lakes Inn for making everyone feel so welcomed.
