Debbie Quigley and Kim Vincent come to Montreal

Debbie and Kim were in Montreal last weekend from Toronto. sadly, i missed Debbie's whistle workshop but i got to catch up with her later that evening at a really awesome house session. it's been a while since i've played in any session, let alone one as great as this one. the tunes were flowing, conversation was fun and the home-cooked food was scrumptious.

Debbie and Kim played a concert at McKibbins on sunday, and that was just delightful. i love the sound of pipes and fiddle together. like when ivan goff and patrick ourceau play The Old Bush and Spike Island Lasses...

it was a musically invigorating and motivating weekend for me, in a celtic way. such a pleasure to see Debbie and hear her play, and i'm always up for meeting new musicians, so hearing Kim was a treat too. man, the chicken leek pie at McKibbins is to die for!
