Heads
up to SAS folks: Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser and cellist Natalie Haas will be performing Feb. 9th in Bellville, OH at
the Bellville Opera House. I believe they also have a show in Columbus on the 12th, but I don't recall the location. Bellville
is closer to NE Ohio, but if Columbus is more convenient, it would be worth checking Alasdair's website for more info. There's
also a show in Cinci, but that's way outside my range!

of a beautiful friendship...

Two new faces and after a hiatus,
two returning to our 2012 Scotland Goes to Sea Cruise!
We recently told you how thrilled we are to
have Kelli Trottier bring her lovely voice, fantastic fiddle and incredible step dancing to the cruise. We are pleased to announce that master accordionist and one man show Bobby Murray has joined the
ranks of our entertainers aboard the MS Noordam. Hailing from Lanarkshire, Scotland, Bobby started his musical career as a teenager,
entertaining with his band from Aberdeenshire to the County of Caithness on the north coast of Scotland. An award-winning
composer, arranger and author, with a very long and distinguished list of compositions and accomplishments, he’ll surely
get our Scottish blood flowing and the toes tapping!
And we’re happy to welcome back to the
cruise Piper Kenny Sutherland and his wife and aunt of our two Highland Dancers, Casey Anne & Cailine - Heather. An award winning Highland Dancer, teacher and choreographer, Heather will make our
dancing even more spectacular.
So along with The Brigadoons - Denis Carr,
Luane Doyle & Paddy Kelly, David Smith, Charlie Zahm, Colin, Kathleen, Casey Anne & Cailine Drummond and Kent
Wires plus our seminar hosts – it will be a cruise full of memories – Scottish Style!
Remember, the cruise deposit sale of $300 per person is
good until March 30th. After that the deposit per person is $600. Call us soon to reserve.
Kelli Trottier has joined the entertainer line-up on the 17th Annual Scotland
Goes To Sea Cruise.
Meet Kelli here: www.kellitrottier.com Make sure you click on her videos! My favorite is, "Over You Soon". Then listen to her vocals on the Release page.
By the way, she also writes many of her songs!
Kelli cruised with us several years ago as part of The Brigadoons and since then has simply become
a Super Star! A solo career, her own band and touring with the international acclaimed show- Bowfire ( www.bowfire.com) - WOW!

THE TIGHTLY WOUND STRING BAND
Dennis Kempthorne and John Whitacre spent three days at Moorefield Studio
near the scenic Killbuck Creek Marsh recording 31 tracks that will eventually
be released as a traditional dance music CD and a traditional Christmas
music CD. They recorded a mix of Irish, Scottish and early American tunes. Instrumentation is violin, mandolin, mountain
dulcimer and guitar.
Release dates and performance dates will be forthcoming.
Kempthorne Company is working on a music website, whistlepigmusic.com, that
will also provide news and purchase information. Dennis and John are
considering offering a series of Celtic music workshops at Woodchuck Chase
in Washington Township, south of Alliance, Ohio, if we receive enough
interest.

Ed Pearlman appears regularly in our area, frequently playing fiddle accompanied by his son Neil
on piano. Neil has played since age 4 so he knows the music thoroughly, and learned Highland dance and Cape Breton
stepdance from his mom, Laura Scott. His knowledge of jazz piano shines through the way he backs up the traditional
fiddling.
To hear some audio samples, visit the CD page of his website (www.edpearlman.net), or our CDBaby page . They play pipe tunes, Scots fiddle, Cape Breton music, Gaelic song tunes, some originals, Auld Lang Syne and
lots more.
Ed has taught the Scottish fiddle course at the Ohio Scottish Arts School for 14 summers. You may have seen him perform
or judge fiddling if you have been to the Ohio Scottish Games. He and his son also performed at the Mod Banquet
Ceilidh at the Oberlin Inn on Sat June 28, 2008. It was an excellent and memorable performance.
