"The first performer on stage and the musician who made the biggest impression on me for her ethereal qualities was Sian James, a Welsh singer and extremely animated harp player. James's first time at Celtic Colours proved she was an authentic treasure with a light, clear Welsh accent, lively sense of humour, fine bursts of energy -- a grand purveyor of Welsh culture. She was the spirit of music on stage wrapped in the tawny colors of her hair, dress and harp."...Virginia MacIsaac

• From the 2003 Celtic Colours International Festival held on Cape Breton Island we have Mairi MacInnes in concert...

·airi was born in a small township on the beautiful island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. She spoke Gaelic in the home and it was not until Mairi went to school that she learned English. She enjoyed singing from an early age in Gaelic and in 1982 became one of the youngest winners of the prestigious Gold Medal at the National Mod in Skye. Since then, Mairi has become a well established singer and is often heard on television and radio.
