Bridge Over the Atlantic

A unique musical collaboration between Canada and Scotland. Two countries, 3,000 miles apart, and connected by a bridge - a musical bridge, a cultural bridge, a fiddle bridge. Cape Breton fiddle player Colin Grant's infectiously enthusiastic playing has made him a favourite on both sides of the Atlantic. Joining him is talented young Scottish fiddler Ewen Henderson, whose own musical roots are deeply embedded in the vibrant traditional music scene of Lochaber on the West Coast of Scotland. Together Colin and Ewen take a unique road trip, a personal journey for both, and a flight of musical inspiration and discovery. They seek out musical influences in landscape and people in both Canada and Scotland and connect with musicians, and people and place, and ultimately showcase their music and shared heritage at a unique concert as part of the international music festival Celtic Colours, in Canada.
