The Cottars

If there’s one thing Cape Breton Island does well, it’s, uh … folk.

Every New Brunswick teenager probably has a mandolin stashed somewhere in their basement, but they probably haven’t played it for audiences throughout the Western Hemisphere.

That’s where the Cottars come in. Inter-generational Celtic troubadours from the humble East Coast. Masters of the music of old, yet firmly planted in the present, the Cottars will soon be here.

Thursday, March 12 at 8 p.m. at the Yukon Arts Centre.

What is with the "Every New Brunswick teenager probably has a mandolin stashed somewhere in their basement" statement? New Brunswick is probably the least known for folk music than all the other Atlantic provinces. It doesn't seem like a very relevant statement, unless they are suggesting that the Cottars are from NB. In that case...someone didn't get their facts right. Unless the Cottars have all relocated and I haven't heard anything? LOL just felt like commenting on that sentance.

Cheers,
