Wendy MacIsaac, renowned traditional fiddler from Cape Breton has recently released a new CD entitled, Off The Floor.

Wendy is from the old school style of fiddle players who is keeping the traditional sounds alive in Cape Breton and beyond. She is in high demand for skills at teaching the Cape Breton style of fiddling.

In 2015, Wendy was nominated for a MusicNS Award for Traditional/Roots Recording, as well nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award the same year.

This new CD, Off The Floor, is a true example of her incredible style of traditional fiddling.

The CD contains 8 tracks and here are the titiles:

Dear Christy - Biddy From Sligo - Magnificent 7 - Uist Lasses

Holy Strathspreys Pat - 1st Figure - 2nd Figure - 3rd Figure

Step Dance Set

Musicians include: Tracey Dares MacNeil on piano and Patrick Gillis on guitar.

The CD was recorded at Lakewind Sound Studio, Point Aconi, N.S, in 2005 and at West Mabou Hall, N.S. in August 2014.

A great traditional fiddling CD says Atlantic Seabreeze and I am sure fiddle music lovers will cherish this album. Listening to Wendy's music makes you want to get up and dance to every tune. This is a 5 star rated album out of 5 stars all the way.
