Kenneth MacKenzie

Cape Breton

Kenneth MacKenzie is a piper and fiddler, raised in a Gaelic-speaking and musical family in Mabou, Cape Breton. Kenneth’s music makes him an in-demand performer at dances, concerts, and festivals at home and further afield. He is an accomplished recording artist and, along with his brother Angus (Dàimh, Seudan), recorded and released the album Pìob is Fìdheall, nominated for both Music Nova Scotia and East Coast Music Awards. Kenneth is VP of Beinn Mhàbu, Colaisde na Gàidhlig [the Gaelic College] and a founding Director of the first Gaelic immersion school outwith Scotland, Taigh Sgoile na Drochaide. He currently lives in Mabou with his wife Jenny and their three young children. Kenneth will be busy this year at Celtic Colours performing with Beòlach in celebration of their 25th year and in the special concert celebrating 30 years of Ceòlas, as well as with A Timeless Art, and with his brother Angus in the Pipers’ Céilidh.
