*About Kelly Russell & the performers

Kelly, Ted Russell’s son, is an Internationally Recognized Traditional Musician and the 1997 recipient of the Marius Barbeau Award for his significant contribution to Canadian folklore. Kelly's wife, Tonya Kearley, an active promoter of authentic Newfoundland culture and heritage, who has directed venues for traditional musicians both locally and internationally, will lead the dance during the "Time."

The Pigeon Inlet Players are multi-talented young performers who act, sing, dance, and play musical instruments. Cast includes Stephen Power, Melissa Dawe, Brandon Mercer, Luke Walsh with Kelly & Tonya's daughters - Naomi (who performs vocals, and plays fiddle and guitar) and Tamsyn (who performs vocals and plays accordion and piano.)

Gerry Squires: Portrait of Ted Russell
Through Breakwater Books with the assistance of Kelly Russell and the cooperation of Gerry Squires, the Bay Roberts Cultural Foundation has obtained signed, limited edition print of "Portrait of Ted Russell" by well-known and honoured Newfoundland artist, Gerry Squires. A signed, framed version was offered on tickets, and limited edition prints are being sold for $200.00.
