Celtic Colours International Festival announces 2010 lineup with
concert, June 17

(Sydney, NS) The Celtic Colours International Festival will launch
their 2010 line-up during a concert at the Joan Harriss Cruise
Pavilion in Sydney on June 17 as part of the Clipper Round the World
Yacht Race celebrations.

“Having this concert to coincide with the visit of the Cape Breton
Clipper and other participants involved in the Round the World Yacht
Race is a natural fit,” says Dan Coffin, Marketing Director of Celtic
Colours International Festival. “We’re excited about this year’s
Festival lineup, and this is a great opportunity to share that
excitement with the local community, and to show visitors to the
island what Celtic Colours—and Cape Breton hospitality—is all about.
The Cape Breton Clipper is being marketed as ‘Nova Scotia’s
Masterpiece’ and we like to think of Celtic Colours as one of Cape
Breton’s Masterpieces.”

The concert, A Taste of Celtic Colours, will start at 8pm and will
include J.P. Cormier, The Colin Grant Band, Buddy MacDonald, Rachel
Davis and Lewis MacKinnon. Tickets will be available through special
promotions online, on radio and in the Cape Breton Post.

“You can get contest information by joining our online community
through Facebook or Twitter, or by signing up to the Celtic Colours
online newsletter,” explains Coffin. “Tickets will also be available
through radio contests on CBC and 89.7 The Coast FM, and by writing in
to the Cape Breton Post with your favourite Celtic Colours memory.”
