Square Dance with Queens County Fiddlers and Colin Grant

Cape Breton fiddler Colin Grant will bring his high-energy traditional music to the Pourhouse in Charlottetown on February 14. Grant will offer a workshop from 2:30–4 pm, followed by a square dance that evening beginning at 7 pm.

The evening will feature a spirited mix of jigs, reels, strathspeys, and waltzes. Doors open at 5 pm, with a full menu available. Local fiddlers will perform from 7–8 pm, followed by dancing from 8–10 pm. Grant will be joined onstage by PEI piano accompanist Darla Chaisson MacPhee, with dances called by Ward MacDonald. No square-dancing experience is necessary.

This 19+ event is presented by the Queens County Fiddlers, with a portion of proceeds supporting the preservation and promotion of traditional music in PEI. Tickets are available in advance by e-transfer to queenscountyfiddlers@gmail.com and at the door, subject to availability.

The afternoon workshop is open to intermediate and advanced fiddlers. Registration is limited to 15 participants. Email queenscountyfiddlers@gmail.com to register.
