We are four Bostonians who perform celtic folk music from Nova Scotia. We all have at least one parent from Nova Scotia and spent lots of time there growing up. We also embrace being from Boston and have been influenced by the rich Irish traditions of our area. Our fiddler Doug Lamey is the grandson of Boston Cape Breton fiddling legend Bill Lamey. He's been playing since he was a kid and has studied with some of the greats from both the Cape Breton tradition (Buddy MacMaster) and Irish fiddle scene (Tommy Peoples). http://www.douglamey.com/ We are lucky to have two of the best stepdancers in the Boston area, Pam Campbell and Christine Morrison. Pam is the daughter of fiddling legend John Campbell. Christine is the daughter of Peggy Morrison who is president of the Gaelic Club in Watertown, MA. Pam Christine have been dancing together for 16 years and have shared the stage with Natalie MacMaster and Ashley MacIsaac to drop some names. I sing in both English and Scottish Gaelic. I play guitar and Irish Tin whistle and make my living as a musician/storyteller. I am steeped in Irish music on my dads side of the family (Clifford's in Sliabh Luachra) and Scottish on moms side. I recieved my MA in Folklore from Memorial University in Newfoundland. http://www.cliffmcgann.com/ We've all played together informally over the years but are finally making it official. We've settled on the name The Boston Kiltics as it captures our love of Scottish folk music but also the fact we are from Boston and proud. This was recorded for a local TV station and is only our second official gig together. Visit us on the Web @ http://www.bostonkiltics.com Visit us on MySpace @ http://www.myspace.com/bostonk...

Amazing music. The dancing was pretty good, but what's with the straight feet and tap-dance influence? Not that tap dance isn't cool, I just prefer Irish dance to be it's own.

I'm from Nova Scotia, but when my great grand parents immigrated from Ireland they first settled in Boston before moving here... maybe we're related! lol

um well as an Irishman myself, I can safely say both P C could dance for me anytime with clothes on...or off Im not fussy. Ahem Adieu.

Nude.......thats what we were asking for but Christine and Pam thought it wasn't a good idea. Its actually not tap dancing but Cape Breton stepdancing which is related to Irish but without the silly costumes and focus on competition.

Agreed or disagreed ah what ever Im conflustered now. In anycase it looks like just two gals having fun tap dancing as opposed to Irish dancing so I guess they dress what ever way suits.

We asked them not to wear the t-shirts jeans but they said they needed to wear something. We agreed to disagree ;-)
