This includes some of the performers during the first 3 hours of the concert. We were visiting from NC and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the concert. Unfortunately, we had to leave halfway through to drove back to Dingwall (north end of Cape Breton Island) where our accommodations were. This combines 10 performances. Have also posted the individual performances that comprise this. Will add names of performers to those if I determine their names.

The accents can be divided into three categories: the Western or Scottish Gaelic accent Inverness, Judique, Mabou, the Margarees, the Industrial accent Sydney, Glace Bay and the French Acadian communities surrounding Cheticamp, LArdoise and Isle Madame There are also influences of the Irish Gaelic accent that can be heard in numerous communities throughout the Island

Description: Canadian Gaelic or Cape Breton Gaelic , known in English as often simply Gaelic, refers to the dialects of Scottish Gaelic spoken by people in Atlantic Canada who have their origins in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. While there have been many different regional dialects of Scottish Gaelic that have been spoken in communities across Canada, Atlantic Canada is the only area in North America where Gaelic continues to be spoken as a community language, especially in Cape Breton. All of these dialects had their origins in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, although some have become effectively dormant since the time of emigration. Even in Cape Breton, the situation of the language is precarious.Scottish Gaels settled in Nova Scotia commencing in 1773 with the arrival of the Ship Hector and continuing up until the 1850s. Gaelic has been spoken for 241 years in Nova Scotia: on Cape Breton Island and on the northeastern Nova Scotia mainland. During the early 1900s, the Gaelic language was nearly wiped out in Canadian schools, due to the increasing pressure of the commonwealth English monarchy, who had previously exiled many Scots during earlier years of conflict. The Gaelic language was forbidden to be spoken in schools. The Gaelic cultural identity community is a vibrant part of Nova Scotia's diverse peoples and communities. Thousands of Nova Scotians attend Gaelic-related activities and events annually including: language workshops and immersions, milling frolics, square dances, fiddle and piping sessions, concerts and festivals. Up until about the turn of the 20th century, Gaelic was widely spoken on eastern Prince Edward Island . In the 2011 Canadian Census, 10 individuals in PEI cited that their mother tongue was a Gaelic language, with over 90 claiming to speak a Gaelic language. Gaels, their language and culture have influenced the heritage of Glengarry County and other regions in present-day Ontario, where many Highland Scots settled commencing in the 18th century, and to a much lesser extent the provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador , Manitoba and Alberta. Gaelic-speaking poets in communities across Canada have produced a large and significant branch of Gaelic literature comparable to that of Scotland itself.Having its origins in Scotland, the Scottish Gaelic language is similar to, but should not be confused with, the Irish language in Newfoundland. At its peak in the mid-19th century, Scottish Gaelic, considered together with the closely related Newfoundland Irish, was the third most spoken language in Canada after English and French.In Atlantic Canada today, there are currently approximately 2,000 speakers, mainly in Nova Scotia. In terms of the total number of speakers in the 2011 census, there were 7,195 total speakers of Gaelic languages in Canada, with 1,365 in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island where the responses mainly refer to Scottish Gaelic. The 2011 census also reported that over 300 residents of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island considered a Gaelic language to be their mother tongue.

Dòchas (trailer) Gaelic Youth in Nova Scotia
Dòchas means 'Hope' in Scottish Gaelic. Gaels in Nova Scotia, Canada, struggle to maintain and pass on their Gaelic language, culture, and identity in the 21st century as they have been under threat for hundreds of years. Hope is growing though and a lot of it is engendered by what is happening with our youth, who are proud to be Gaels and to keep up our language and traditions.
