And the Winner is...


Dawn and Margie Beaton won in the roots/traditional group recording of the year category for their album, Taste of Gaelic!
“I really am shaking,” said Dawn. “It’s the biggest honour. This is what we’ve dreamed about and I can’t believe this is happening.”
“To us, we’re still those little girls who were watching (the ECMAs) and looking up to it like it was the Oscars,” added Margie. “It was this big show and to see people that we knew like Natalie (MacMaster) and The Rankins achieve success and go so far, it’s a wonder to us that we’re here and on that same stage.”

Nova Scotia Music Industry Award Nominees 2009 - Traditional Roots Recording!

2009 has also been a busy touring year for the girls, beginning in early 2009 with a very warm welcome to Cornerbrook, NFLD with two showcases during the ECMA's. The girls then attended one of the largest Celtic Festivals in the world, Fesitval-Interceltique in Lorient, France, headlining numerous shows as part of the official events of the Festival. Only a few weeks later, Margie and Dawn traveled to Hull, England where they kicked off the Clipper race 09-10 with the Cape Breton Clipper boat entry! And in late October, the girls also made the trip to Brazil to welcome the Clipper into Port! It was a whirlwind trip that incorporated playing for the crew and an impromptu performance for the locals!!
