The Beaton Sisters
Just came across this new fiddle duo. Dawn & Margie Beaton from Mabou, Cape Breton. They're smokin' on this You Tube clip. It's no surprise given that they're Beatons from Mabou (See also Andrea, Kinnon & Betty Lou, Joey and Karen....)
Anyway, this set from last year's Celtic Colours festival is just marvelous and Jason Roach from Cheticamp holds it down very nicely on the keys.
Notice Patrick Gillis chording on the guitar. He plays a right handed axe, left handed, so the lighter guage strings are on top (closer to his chin rather than his lap). This is because he learned to play on his right handed brother's guitar.
