New Radio Shows

We have received so many emails asking when we might have be putting up some new shows. A lack of money and a proper audio server have been our biggest obstacles toto slot. We are very pleased to have recently received some funding from Odyssey Records of Illinois to produce a few more shows. We will be working on those in the next little while so stay tuned for some new shows in the near future...

Our streaming server has been experiencing ongoing problems and this has caused a delay in producing any new shows slot88. We hope to be able to find a better solution shortly.  If anyone out there has a streaming server and would like to help us out, we would love to hear from you! 

Thanks to you all for your continued support. We hope you enjoy the new album!

Cheers,
The Cape Breton Live crew

News: December 14, 2007
By Dan MacDonald, The Cape Breton Post

Mary Jessie MacDonaldThe Celtic music world received another blow this past week with the passing of Mary Jessie MacDonald, aged 78. Born and raised in New Waterford, with roots deep in Mabou Coal Mines, she was revered by fiddlers and music fans in general.

She lived and worked most of her life in the Boston area, where she built up a much deserved reputation as a pianist with a wonderful touch, an impressive command of the keyboard and a vast knowledge of the tunes.

Her performances on her visits to Cape Breton were much anticipated and getting the chance to sit in on a session where she was playing was a special occasion indeed. Celtic music was much stronger by her presence and much saddened by her passing.

Cape Breton ranks 10th on best islands list
By The Canadian Press

SYDNEY — Cape Breton Island has caught the attention of National Geographic Traveler magazine again, tying for 10th in the publication's world's best islands rankings. It shares the honour with Corsica (France).

A total of 111 islands and archipelagos were ranked in six categories including environmental and ecological quality and cultural integrity.

The Destinations Rated feature examined islands as appealing places that are often prone to tourism overkill. With 100 being the best score for avoiding that danger, Cape Breton scored 75.

Cape Breton is no stranger to tourism accolades from the magazine. It placed second on a scorecard of more than 100 of the worlds greatest destinations in 2004.
