Cynthia MacLeod & Gordon Belsher

Cynthia MacLeod is one of Prince Edward Island’s finest ambassadors of traditional music carving a distinct style of fiddling that embraces both her local roots and her ancestral connection to the Scottish highlands. Since the beginning of her career as a young teenager, Cynthia has spent more than 15 years on stages on PEI, across Canada, into the US, and as far abroad as Cuba and Japan, astounding audiences with her entertainingly unique performance style. She has received many PEI Music Awards and has been nominated several times for Canada’s East Coast Music Awards.

Winner of the PEI Music Association 2014 “Lifetime Achievement Award”, Gordon Belsher has been performing in Canada and around the world for more than 40 years. He is a fixture of the Island music scene, based out of his home in Eastern PEI. As accompanist and featured vocalist with Richard Wood, and Cynthia MacLeod, Gordon has toured across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Europe, Australia and Japan. His solo CD’s have been up for and won PEI Music Awards and ECMA’s.

“With a gentle charm that has become his trademark, the Guernsey Cove musician sang songs, told stories and urged his audience to join in, much to their delight and to his."

Cynthia and Gordon first performed together in Charlottetown, on Canada Day 2002.

As quoted by Doug Gallant of the Charlottetown Guardian:
“there is a lovely chemistry between MacLeod and Belsher on stage, and a generosity of spirit that seems to come out whenever you put the two together before an audience."
