Cape Breton Island (the DVD):
The Music, Land and People
-

Documentary film maker Peter Murphy gives us a non- touristy, natural presentation of life in Cape Breton ... over an hour of music, scenery, interviews and more.

Created in the early 1990s this film features some of Cape Breton’s finest musicians. As well there is a reading from author Alistair MacLeod, from poet Rita Joe and also songs from Gaelic and Acadian singers.

The music is not exclusively performace clips; instead it is effectively used to set the mood creating a realistic backdrop for the narritive portraying life in Cape Breton.

The instrumental musical content and performing musicians are detailed below. I particularily enjoyed the group performance of Ashley, Natalie, Buddy and Jackie... great steps Ashley!!
