Kirkmount
The Bigney family has entertained audiences across the country with tunes that range from lilting, soulful airs to the Scotch snap of lively jigs. Tutored by Celtic music greats Alasdair Fraser, Buddy MacMaster and the late Jerry Holland, the family's strong roots in their Nova Scotian musical heritage give spirit to arrangements of traditional tunes and original compositions alike.
The band has self-produced four full-length recordings, three of which are currently available through their online shop.
