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!!

Beaton sisters shine on debut album

The Cape Breton Post
The first thing that you will notice is the picture on the CD cover, a sea of green with a pair of striking redheads, fiddles in hand. The CD is Taste of Gaelic and the redheads in question are Dawn and Margie Beaton, sisters with musical roots that go deep into Mabou and its music.
Taste of Gaelic is a terrific CD that gives us a dozen cuts, some clearly traditional and some stretching the point a bit. It’s the little things that make this recording stand out including the wonderful tune selection and some different arrangements. READ MORE
