Each year during the Gala Concert, the Cape Breton Fiddlers’ Association gathers to hear the reading of the list of those association members who have passed away during the previous year and to pause for a moment of silence in their honour. This year, the list was a long one. Father Francis Cameron led the prayer as the association’s other members and the directors present and on stage stood in silent recollection.
