Everyone please arrive in time for a prompt 1 p.m. start.

Following a break for stretching, refreshments, and visiting, we resume with our regular tune circle.

If you are coming for the first time, note that the rear parking lot off of Fayette St. provides the easiest access. We always try to have extra copies of the music for newcomers, however ear-players are welcome as well.

Ed Pearlman has performed, taught, and promoted fiddle music, particularly that of Scotland and Cape Breton for over 45 years. He has performed throughout the US, in Canada and Scotland, and has worked with many of the top fiddlers from Scotland and Cape Breton, both as a performer and as a promoter of greater appreciation for the music through in-person and online events, distribution of recordings, and published articles.

Laura Scott has been performing and teaching Highland Dance since the 1960s, and has pushed the envelope of her dancing by incorporating Cape Breton stepdance, Highland hardshoe, and improvisation into her choreographies.  In addition to working with Ed Pearlman and Highland Soles, Laura has danced for performances by Alasdair Fraser, Natalie MacMaster, Jerry Holland, Tony Cuffe, Aly Bain, Battlefield Band, Joe Cormier, and many others.  She is a life member of BATD and served on the SOBHD Judges Panel for 30 years.  She has taught many students, including at camps such as Pinewoods, Gaelic Roots, and her own summer camp.
