I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: One of my favourite things about working for Celtic Colours International Festival is that it gives me an excuse to get out and travel around Cape Breton Island during its most spectacular season.
As much as I take the natural beauty for granted, I feel like I often let the island’s traditional music fade into the background as well. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan. I enjoy traditional tunes as much as the rock, folk, punk and indie-oriented music I grew up with in post-industrial Cape Breton. Local songwriters have always been among my favourites and there’s something stirring about hearing someone singing in Gaelic or Mi’kmaw that I can’t quite define.
If you’re looking for a souvenir or gift for a loved one, Celtic Colours T-shirts, hoodies, hats, CDs and books will be available for sale at various concerts during the festival. Festival merchandise will also be available throughout the event at Colaisde na Gàidhlig/the Gaelic College Gift Shop. These items are available online but why not stop by and get one in person while you’re here?
