Annual Gaelic Concert Series Bu Deònach Leam Tilleadh The title of our Gaelic Concert Series is derived from a song composed by local Bard Hugh F. MacKenzie. While working in the lumber camps, he lamented leaving his home in Christmas Island. "Christmas of 1927 overtook me in Northern Ontario, eighty miles from civilization. While my associates amused themselves playing cards, I laid in bed to indulge in my melancholy alone. My thoughts of home and Cape Breton I tried to voice in the following verses vowing:” “Bu Deònach Leam Tilleadh” “I would willingly return” Each Tuesday evening some of Cape Breton’s finest musicians gather at the Christmas Island Fire Hall to share the stage with emerging talent and local tradition bearers in bilingual Gaelic-English concerts. A Traditional Tea including oatcakes and tea biscuits is served during intermission. Concerts begin at 8pm Admission $10.00, Children 14 and under $5.00
