Cape Breton will be a hub of musical buzz this weekend as Sydney hosts the annual East Coast Music Awards.  The awards will be handed out March 7th at Centre 200.

The evening will honour the Island’s rich musical past.  Grammy-winning artist Gordie Sampson will perform as part of a tribute to Scotty Turner, the evening’s recipient of the Dr. Helen Creighton Lifetime Achievement Award.

Fiddling sensation, Ashley MacIsaac, along with fellow Cape Breton musicians Chrissy Crowley, JP Cormier and Colin Grant Hilda Chiasson  will honour the late Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland.
