    Natalie MacMaster

    Well, with all the great pictures posted over the weekend, I thought I'd add some more. Our municipality, Saanich, has been celebrating its 100th birthday this year. Saturday night we went to the UVic stadium for the final event of the festivities, a concert featuring the Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band, the Victoria Sympony Orchestra and Natalie MacMaster.

    Sorry, no sound!

    Here is a contingent of the pipe band.


    Here is Natalie.


    She's a bonny lass.




    With her guitarist and accompanying pianist, Erin Leahy.

    Very Nice, The blurr makes it look real and not staged. I remember the old days when everything moving was just a giant blurr. O'Neille
    Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

    Thumbs up

    Natalie has been through Spokane, what energy. It was worth every minute of the concert.

    Intersting contrast on the stage when the star performer wears blue jeans and open toe shoes and the orchestra wears white jackets, dress shirt& tie etc.

    Bonny lass, aye. And one of Canada's greatest natural resources. She is an amazing talent.

    Nice shots.

    Great pictures; nice to see a photo item from Vancouver Island, and a good shot of the pipe band, though I have to admit I've never heard of Natalie Macmaster. My relatives live in Victoria, Cobble Hill, Campbell River, Courtenay and Sooke!

    Cessna152towser, your family has got the whole island covered! I rarely get to Courtenay and Campbell River, but we're in Sooke and Cobble Hill frequently.
    Here's a pic at Point No Point, just north of Sooke, when we were there on the Canada Day long weekend.
