Barra Macneils Hire New Management And Join Rita MacNeil's
Cape Breton Christmas Tour
October 25, 2005

Cape Breton's Juno award-winning Celtic group, The Barra MacNeils, have teamed with fellow Canadian Juno winner Rita MacNeil, to play Rita MacNeils Cape Breton Christmas Tour, a series of dates throughout the Christmas season, concentrated in Ontario, British Columbia and the Prairie provinces. Cape Breton tenor Peter Gillis also joins the tour's roster.

The Barra MacNeils are also pleased to announce that, effective immediately, they will be working with artist manager Andre Bourgeois and his company Instinct Artist Management. Bourgeois will be offering career direction and artist management for the group, who recently released their ninth LP All At Once (Shoreline/MapleNationwide). The exciting addition of younger siblings Boyd and Ryan MacNeil to the family group delivers a rejuvenated and energized sound, taking their new live show to heights never before reached by the diverse and talented musical family.
