Among the many traditions established in Cape Breton over the years, coming home for holidays is one of the most cherished. With so many of the Island's young people coming home for the Thanksgiving weekend from University and off Island jobs, we decided to have a party to celebrate! In its third year now, this event offers a change of pace from most Festival shows in that it is more like a nightclub event than the sit-down affair typical of most Celtic Colours concerts. This year sees the return of the Tom Fun Orchestra. This eight-piece band from Cape Breton Island won the Rising Star award at the 2009 East Coast Music Awards and was voted Entertainer of the Year at he 2008 Music Nova Scotia Awards. When the band did their first cross-Canada tour in February, their pal Colin Grant filled in on fiddle. On this night, Colin will be bringing his band for a set of his own. Montreal's beloved six-piece United Steel Workers of Montreal, who shared the stage with Tom Fun for a few rollicking nights on their Summer tour and in the past month, round out this show. Proudly presented by NSLC, Thanksgivin'er is a licensed event, restricted to 19 years and older. The room is set up for dancing, but there are seats for sale in the balcony for those who prefer just to watch. Whether coming home for the weekend or visiting for the festival, tonight will be a great time to unwind with friends both old and new.
