Cian O'Morain is a multi-instrumentalist, native Irish speaker and story teller from County Kerry, Ireland. He has recently completed a master's degree in the performance of traditional Irish music. He has toured Ireland, Canada and the US. Cian is now living in PEI and happy to be joining this thriving musical community where he can share his love of story, tune and song.
Mary MacGillivray is from the Island with strong Irish roots and is the lead singer for the evening, accompanying herself on the squeeze box. MacGillivray grew up in a musical family with roots in Cape Breton and PEI and she says two things were always on the go at their place: the music and the tea pot. She once asked her father Jim MacGillivray what he liked to do growing up, and he said “They got together and made music and had a laugh and had a good time." Mary is an amazing singer / songwriter and delights audiences with her beautiful voice when she sings in both English and Gaelic.
Sheila MacKenzie is a well-known Prince Edward Island fiddler who plays traditional Scottish/Cape Breton/PEI style fiddle music. She also teaches and loves to promote Gaelic culture and music.
Grace Sulis is the winner at the 2024 Summerside Lobster Carnival Talent Contest. She step dances with the Senior Dance Company under Samantha Hughes at Sam’s School of Dance in Charlottetown. Grace is 15 and has been dancing for 12 years.
