Music in the park

On the 25Th of July Sarah and I Met Catherine(mikes mum) and Andrew in Preston street at Pub Italia for dinner followed by a free concert at lebreton flats. The pub has over 200 beers so s you could imagine it took longer to decide what beer to drink than what to eat.
After dinner we drove the car down the road a bit closer to the park and walked into the park to find a good spot to sit and watch the show.
The main performer was a person called Natalie MacMasters a fiddler from Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, although Sarah and i were not to sure about the music, it turned out to be a good night and was also good to hear some of the music from Cape Breton as when we were there it was the wrong time of the year. We managed to get our seats set up in the middle about 30 metres from the stage so we got a good view of everything happening. As well as Natalie MacMasters playing she was backed by the Ottawa NAC Orchestra, the entire concert was 2 hours long it did not self to take that long, Everyone in the crowd loved the music and lots of little kids were up the front dancing away the whole time she played the fiddle.
