Are you a musician eager to learn and play Celtic music in a relaxed, informal group setting? In memory of the late Eddy Rodgers—an inspiring director and mentor who gave so much to the Cape Breton Fiddlers' Association and the broader Celtic music community—the association is hosting a Eddy Rodgers Legacy Session at St. Columba Parish Hall on Wednesday, March 19th, at 7 PM. Led by fiddler Stephanie MacDonald and pianist Margie Beaton, this session will provide players with the necessary music, chords, and guidance. Fiddlers and accompanists of all ages and skill levels are welcome to join. The atmosphere is casual and supportive, encouraging learning and collaboration. Participation is completely free, and an additional session is planned for March, with the exact date to be determined. Come be part of this special musical gathering!
