Exciting Canada Day for me! We (Gadelle) played in Moncton for a big outdoor show on Main Street. It threatened rain but held off while we played. There was a great crowd and we had fun playing. The best part was that we played right before Natalie MacMaster who I adore!! We got to chat with she and her husband Donnell. It was fun to see Mac Morin again (we ran into him at Small Halls on PEI) who is a fantastic Cape breton style piano player. He plays with everyone from Beolach to Troy MacGillivray and of course Natalie. We left before the show was over to avoid the traffic and not get home too late but Natalie was putting on a great show! She played lots of tunes from older albums, the opening set was almost straight off the “Four on the Floor“ cassette recording!
Now for the pictures of our adventure. I love this picture of Natalie and the other Gadelle girls. She poked her head inside our trailer to say hello and with our bunch there are always a few laughs!
We had our own trailer!!! It was pretty exciting. There was all kinds of food and drinks and it was directly behind the stage. Natalie and her crew had the one next to ours.
We had the 15 passenger van that we used on the US tour and my friend Pete Later came along for the ride. In order to access the backstage area you needed to have a wristband and we weren't sure if we could get him one. Thankfully it worked out and he was able to hang out with us backstage. Here is a picture of him inside our trailer.
