Frank McQuaid grew up in rural PEI. He brings to the stage a rich musical history spanning 60 plus years, that includes community choirs, various bands, and in particular the band “The Sons of Erin”. Frank’s brother David McQuaid joins Fullerton’s March for this Ceilidh.
Randy Dibblee, with over 70 years of musical experience, brings a wealth of experience to the stage from his piano lessons as a young boy to his folk music performances as an adult. Dibblee is one of the original “Sons of Erin”.
Willie Arsenault's musical journey started with high school bands which led him to folk groups like “The Sons of Erin” and later to Labrador musical ventures.
Fiddler Allison Giggey has been entertaining crowds across P.E.I., Canada, and the U.K. for almost 20 years. Her 2003 recording 'Wake the Affections' was nominated for a P.E.I. Music award. Giggey is a frequent visitor to the stage at the BIS.
