Comments:

"I would just like to reiterate that we had a fabulous time last week in Baddeck. The tournament was run well and it was enjoyed by all of us. It has to be the best value of any tournament we go in. Where can you get 2 huge dinners, golf and cart for $250.00/player? The other thing we would like to say Tom is that we can see you have the utmost respect from the people of Cape Breton and we are proud to be associated with the groups that you take out each year.

It’s the one trip each year that I look forward to the most and we will always try to be a part of it. Again thanks, we had a great time. "

Golf Classic Provides Support...

The Celtic Music Golf Classic is the major fundraiser for the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre in Judique, on the Ceilidh Trail, in Cape Breton. The new facility opened its doors in the summer of 2006 and the Director of Operations, Kinnon Beaton has already begun many new projects such as the Buddy MacMaster School of Fiddling, Sunday ceilidhs, pubs, and just a few weeks ago he released our second compilation CD, the beautiful Failte: Airs and Waltzes.

We are a unique establishment built to share Cape Breton culture with you. Professional musicians, such as Andrea Beaton and Glenn Graham, provide services to educate and enlighten the public about special aspects of the music. Come to the Centre to enjoy a private Music Demonstration, the Interactive Exhibit Room, the Archives, the Gift Shop, Fiddle School Instruction, and the finest of live music. Whether this is part of your heritage or something brand new to you, a visit to the Centre will help you build new Cape Breton memories before you leave the island. This is the place to explore, experience, and enjoy!

Our new Tom Rankin Exhibit Room has been custom designed to get you “Tuned in to Cape Breton music.” It takes you on a journey through song, dance, bagpipe, and fiddle music as told through photographic displays and audio and video exhibits. Try your hand at the fiddle or have a step dancing lesson on the wooden porch.

Our Gift Shop is full of musical treasures with a vast collection of CDs, DVDs, and books, along with quality crafts, gifts and local comforts. Two of the best new samplers of Cape Breton music, are the CDs Failte: A Cape Breton Welcome and Failte: Airs and Waltzes.

The Celtic Music Centre houses an Archives with audio tapes, video, photographs and letters about Cape Breton and its music, its musicians, and its music communities.

Use the Resource Library & Reading Room; learn from the Inverness County Audio Collection or the Willie I. MacIsaac Tune Book Collection, information files, and photographs that help the public understand how the music was and still is a large part of community life.

Call the Archives to talk to the staff if you wish to consider donating items for future generations to enjoy, or e-mail archives@celticmusicsite.com.

Without the Celtic Golf Classic none of this would be possible. Thank you so much for your continued support and generosity.
