Cape Breton Music Roundup #15 - December 4 - December 7 2014
The holidays are ramping up with a few great Christmas related shows this weekend. We've got David Myles in Port Hawkesbury along with The Eddie Cummings band, which is not listed below because we couldn't get the show time but "Hawkesbury" seems like it could be the "place to be" this weekend. The challenger to the crown of "place to be" could very well be Louisbourg which features holiday shows by the Yarnells as well as the Beaton sisters. The Yarnells will be rocking the playhouse and the Beatons will be at the Fortress in what really is a rare chance to take in a holiday show in the King's Bastion chapel. Check out all our recommendations below and as always check out Music Guide Cape Breton for our full list of shows.
