About The Cottars
The Cottars are a Celtic band from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. The original members of the band were two teenaged pairs of siblings, Ciarán and Fiona MacGillivray of Albert Bridge, and Jimmy and Roseanne MacKenzie of Baddeck. They released three albums to considerable acclaim: Made In Cape Breton (2002), On Fire (2004), and Forerunner (2006). In 2006, they toured extensively with the well-known Irish band The Chieftains. However, due to the bandmembers still being minors at the time, and in accordance with the MacGillivrays' parents, the founding members of the band split up in 2006. The band began to appear without the Mackenzie siblings, and after experimenting with various fill-ins, settled upon fiddler Claire Pettit and fellow Cape Bretoner Bruce Timmons on guitar. Later, the MacGillivrays rejoined, appearing on the album Feast (2010).
