This is taken from "The Buzz", PEI's Arts and Entertainment newspaper.

Rosie MacKenzie, former fiddler and stepdancer with The Cottars, will perform a show in Stratford on May 24. Joining MacKenzie on piano and fiddle will be Cape Breton's Howie MacDonald, a member of The Rankin Family, and Dave MacIsaac, one of Canada's premiere Celtic guitarists.

The show is a fundraiser for the Island Karate Club.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it or not, but I hope I can ;D

Cheers,
Ginny

Edit by Joe: added date of performance

Hello Ginny

Thanks for sharing this; I wonder if Rosie will also be appearing in any summer music festivals.

I hope you can attend this show in Stratford!

Best wishes,
Joe

A FUND-RAISING CONCERT featuring ROSIE MACKENZIE and her CELTIC SUPER GROUP is being held for the Island karate club. MacKenzie is a young fiddling sensation from Cape Breton. Formerly with the Cottars, she toured and performed with the Chieftains. The concert is Saturday May 24th, starting at 8:00 p.m. at Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Stratford. Tickets are $20, and are available from members of the Island Karate Club in Stratford and Cornwall and at Stratford Video. More than 70 young competitors will take part in an international karate tournament in Dartmouth in July.

I wonder what the CELTIC SUPER GROUP alludes to. Pauline Scanlon's myspace space makes no mention of this event

Another arrangement perhaps?

[Ginny]

The concert is featuring Dave MacIsaac and Howie MacDonald. They likely said Celtic Super Group either as a mistake, or just to increase the popularity of the show. It's been advertised on PEI that those two musicians will accompany her.

Cheers,
Ginny
