Gunning Headlines Road To Celtic Colours Ceilidh

The road to Cape Breton's Celtic Colours International Festival will run through Sherbrooke again this year.

On Thursday, Oct. 6, the night before the official Celtic Colours kickoff, award-winning singer-songwriter Dave Gunning will headline the second annual Road To Celtic Colours Ceilidh at the Sherbrooke Village Courthouse.

Other featured performers will be acclaimed Celtic harpists Ardyth & Jennifer along with regular Courthouse performers Roly & Ellie Burton with Bob MacDonald.

"This special Ceilidh will be a fitting way to cap what has been a successful concert series," said George Brothers, manager of program development at Sherbrooke Village.

"We're very pleased to have artists such as Dave Gunning and Ardyth and Jennifer returning to perform in our Courthouse. This event will provide people with the opportunity to take a scenic road to Cape Breton and get a head start on the musical magic that is Celtic Colours."

Tickets for the Ceilidh, which starts at 7:30 p.m., are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. For more information call 1-888-743- 7845.
