- On Saturday, June 16, 2024, Fabric of Life welcomed award winning Cape Bretton fiddlers Troy MacGillivray and Mari Black to Buckland, Massachusetts.
Local residents filled the Buckland Public Hall to see these accomplished musicians. Some had ties to Cape Breton, others were also musicians, and all came for the pure enjoyment of the evening’s music. Once Troy, Mari, and accompanying guitarist, Noah Fishman took to the stage, the room went quiet, with folks nodding in time, tapping their feet, and clapping along to the music. During a waltz, the musicians encouraged dancers to get up from their seats and, as Mari put it: “Make dance music no longer theoretical.” Couples twirled throughout the hall, and spilled over into the entryway to find more space for their fancy footwork. And they weren’t the only dancers - both Mari and Troy took turns bringing the music to life as they played while also step dancing on stage.
The staff at Fabric of Life is honored to have been involved with bringing these talented and captivating musicians to our rural Western Massachusetts community and hope the memories and joy folks took home with them will last a lifetime. We hope to see many of the concert attendees at our future events and are humbled by the feedback from our community about the joy, music and connection we have been able to foster.
