He is joined by Kevin LeVesconte, a fellow Cape Breton musician and frequent co-bill partner, for a relaxed night of Celtic music with no cover charge.

(…) The sense of awe and discovery was so intense. (…) By round’s end, I’d lost all objectivity. This is the second coming of Cypress Point, which in my mind was previously unmatched in its beauty, variety and thrills.”- Ron Whitten, Golf Digest Visit our website for a hole-by-hole tour at https://cabotcapebreton.com/golf/cabot-cliffs
