Cindy Malcolm
Beginning in music- My start was early. At the age of three I headed off to church to play fiddle with my mother (ha, ha). I later received my first guitar at the age of five and have been entertaining ever since.
Instruments - Six and 12 string guitar, ukulele, fiddle, mandolin, piano, and cello.
Favourite song we play - My Friend (original)
Kim Malcolm MacDonald
Beginning in music - I guess I was introduced at a young age from listening to all the different kinds of music my mother played. Then I started with the piano, which I took for seven years. I loved the piano but I hated to practise. From there I did a little bit of guitar and then it was on to classical music with the fiddle; we played in the orchestra but I didn't like it that much. My love now is the fiddle (Cape Breton style), especially playing with my mother, Pauline, and with SiblingsTwo.
Instruments - Fiddle, guitar, piano, tambourine, shakers, and cabassa.
Favourite song we play - Dirty Ole Town
