Highland Bagpipes, Fiddle

Raised in a Gaelic-speaking and very musical family in Mabou, Cape Breton Island, Kenneth has been immersed in the Scottish language and culture since birth. He has been piping and teaching at dances, concerts and festivals all over the Atlantic Provinces, Ontario, Scotland and beyond for several years now and counts well known pipers John MacLean, Iain MacDonald and Angus MacKenzie, his older brother as his biggest musical influences.

Kenneth is well-known for his lively traditional style and for the strong Gaelic flavor to his playing. Being a native Gaelic speaker and having spent a year studying the language at Sabhal Mor Ostaig on the Isle of Skye, Kenneth has a deep interest in the language and in its preservation. Some of his performance highlights include the Ceòlas Summer Music School in South Uist, the Blàs Festival in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and the Celtic Colours International Festival in Cape Breton Island.
