Baddeck fiddler Rosie MacKenzie, who has spent the last number of years working on sailboats around the world, has been a frequent musical collaborator with Breanndán. This repeat performance of Voices of the Naomhóg takes place in the Malagawatch Church moved to the Highland Village from Mi’kmaq territory shared equally among all five First Nations on Cape Breton Island.
