1:30 pm - The Highlanders
The legacy of The Highlanders is rooted in a rich tradition of local music, originally founded by the trio of Malcolm McLeod (fiddle), Jim McIllmoyle (guitar), and Wayne Wenaus (bass). Following the passing of Malcolm, Jim and Wayne kept the spirit of the band alive, collaborating with a series of exceptional fiddlers including Mitch Durreault, Emily Dubois, and Aislinn McDougall.
This year, the group takes the stage with a fresh energy, featuring:
Eve Turner (Saskatoon) – Fiddle
Susan Chow – Guitar
Wayne Wenaus – BassA Note from the Band
We would like to extend a special thank you to Susan Chow for stepping in at the last minute to lend her talents to this year's performances. While he is away focusing on his health, our thoughts are with Jim McIllmoyle; we wish him a steady recovery and eagerly look forward to having him back on stage with us next year. -
