Frank Macdonald and Musical Friends, March 2 in Port Hawkesbury
Inverness writer Frank Macdonald headlines an evening of literary and musical entertainment being planned by the Rotary Club of Port Hawkesbury.
Macdonald will be joined by Gaelic songstress Joanne MacIntyre and West Mabou fiddler-dancer Melody Cameron and her husband, guitarist Derrick Cameron.
Rotary Club president Patrick Lamey announced that the proceeds from the event will go toward the club’s support of the community effort to revitalize the MacQuarrie Street recreation area.
Frank Macdonald’s Cape Breton novels A Forest for Calum and A Possible Madness have both won him international acclaim, and his years as publisher and columnist of the award-winning weekly Inverness Oran have made him one of the island’s best-loved writers.
