Wednesday night last chance to catch ceilidh

Gary Chipman, Dino Dunsford and musical friends, have been performing at the Stanley Bridge WI Hall

-

A reunion of old friends brought together to present a ceilidh will finish for the season on Wednesday, Aug. 31, at the Stanley Bridge Women’s Institute Hall.

Having been friends since their school years at Birchwood High in Charlottet­own, P.E.I. musicians Dino Dunsford, Allan “Postie” Connolly and Gary Chipman, with good friend and fellow musician Blair Coughlin, have been entertaini­ng great crowds each week.

The ceilidh features a wide variety of music, including Maritime, country and maybe even a rock ’n’ roll tune.

There will be also fiddling by Chipman, step-dancing and lots of laughs.

Joining them for their last ceilidh of the season will be seasoned step dancer and Marshfield resident Taylor MacBeath.

“We had many laughs this summer and real fun performing together as a group – it’s very nostalgic to think about the fact that our group started to play music together as teenagers, and we’re still doing the same thing many years later” says Chipman, “with a little bit more grey hair and in some cases a little less hair.”

The Stanley Bridge Women’s Institute Hall supports many Island charities, including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and others. The ceilidh starts at 7:30 p.m., and doors open at 7 p.m. The hall is air-conditione­d, and there will be strawberri­es and ice cream for sale at intermissi­on.
