Cape Breton Music Roundup #6 - October 2 - October 5 2014
Seem as though the old Industrial Cape Breton area is getting more mention that other parts of the Island this week, and a bit last week as well. I think this will be changing in the next couple of weeks as Celtic Colours ramps up and launches in the next two weeks. As always more shows can be found on our Music Guide Cape Breton page, which is updated often so check back often to see what great shows are going on around the Island.
