Broadcast Date – October 9th, 2024
Our chats will be just that very conversational, not entirely sensible and with any luck totally enjoyable. And enjoyable doesn’t even come close to describing the call I had with today’s guest. She sure has been bringing audiences around the globe for decades – in fact, she’s been wowing crowds since the age of 10 – from her mega award-winning fiddle playing to her stellar step dancing and electrifying shows she has most deservedly earned the title of East Coast Superstar and the pride of Cape Breton Island. Well and here’s the best news she along with her husband fiddling great Donnell Leahy and her talented troop of incredible kids are coming home for the holidays with 6 shows here in the Maritimes – so we’ll talk about that and soooo much more! Including her affinity for Christmas and how she’s always close to home in her heart. We’ll also talk about the lovely life she’s created in her own home and how she and Donnell have worked to curate the greatest environment for their now 7 children – from the sweet and spirited youngest Maria to her oldest daughter Mary Francis who’s just recently launched her own solo musical career. We’ll also break news on a not-yet-released specialty product for Christmas AND get the inside scoop the brand NEW book she’ll be releasing next year. Plus we’ll get to 1st Things First, play a fun round of MORE OR LESS and spin as much of her marvellous music as we can within the hour. So with all that ahead we best get to it. Here’s my telephone conversation with the one and only Natalie MacMaster.
