WEST PARIS — A concert featuring Cynthia MacLeod and Gordon Belsher will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 19, at North Paris Homestead, 2 Abbott Hill Road.
MacLeod is one of Prince Edward Island’s finest ambassadors of traditional music, with a distinct style of fiddling that embraces both her local roots and her ancestral connection to the Scottish highlands.
Since the beginning of her career as a young teenager, MacLeod has spent more than two decades on stages on PEI, across Canada, and around the world.
A recipient of the Prince Edward Island Music Association “Lifetime Achievement Award,” Belsher has been performing in Canada and around the world for more than 50 years. He is a fixture of the Island music scene, based out of his home in southeast PEI.
As accompanist and featured vocalist with PEI fiddlers Richard Wood and MacLeod, Belsher has toured across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Europe, Australia and Japan. His solo CD’s have been up for and won PEI Music Awards and Canada’s East Coast Music Awards.
Tickets cost $20.
