| Boston Kiltics Nova Scotia Celtic Fiddle Dance Story & Song |
 |
We are four Bostonians who perform celtic folk
music from
Nova Scotia. We all have at least one parent from
Nova Scotia and spent lots of time there growing
up. We also embrace being from Boston and have
been influenced by the rich Irish traditions of
our area.
Our fiddler Doug Lamey is the grandson of Boston
Cape
Breton fiddling legend Bill Lamey. He's been
playing
since he was a kid and has studied with some of
the
greats from both the Cape Breton tradition (Buddy
MacMaster) and Irish fiddle scene (Tommy Peoples).

We are lucky to have two of the best stepdancers
in
the Boston area, Pam Campbell and Christine
Morrison.
Pam is the daughter of fiddling legend John
Campbell.
Christine is the daughter of Peggy Morrison who is
president of the Gaelic Club in Watertown, MA.
Pam & Christine have been dancing together for 16
years and have shared the stage with Natalie
MacMaster and Ashley MacIsaac to drop some names.
I sing in both English and Scottish Gaelic. I
play guitar and Irish Tin whistle and make my
living as a
musician/storyteller. I am steeped in Irish music
on my dads side of the family (Clifford's in
Sliabh Luachra) and Scottish on moms side. I
recieved my MA in Folklore from Memorial
University in Newfoundland.

We've all played together informally over the
years but
are finally making it official. We've settled on
the
name The Boston Kiltics as it captures our love of
Scottish folk music but also the fact we are from
Boston and proud. This was recorded for a local TV
station and is only our second official gig
together.
