Kinnon Beaton plays Donald MacLean’s Farewell to Oban

“I was twelve years old when I learned it, and it might sound like I’m still twelve years old…”

Join Kinnon Beaton, accompanied by the talented Betty Lou Beaton, as they bring to life the classic "Donald MacLean’s Farewell to Oban" in one of my favour settings: the Chestico Museum in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia! 🎶

At just twelve years old, Kinnon learned this beautiful tune, and he still pours his youthful spirit into every note. The Chestico Museum, an old schoolhouse in Harbourview Nova Scotia, offers a unique “unplugged” experience that showcases the pure sound of the fiddle, surrounded by the rich musical heritage of Canada’s Musical Coast.

If you're exploring Route 19, don’t miss the lively Thursday Ceilidhs—perfect for immersing yourself in Cape Breton's vibrant culture!
