What makes someone fall in love with Nova Scotia from thousands of miles away? For Indianapolis-based musician and radio host Dave Bagdade, the answer is simple: the ocean, the people, and above all, the music. After more than a dozen visits—and even getting married on Cape Breton Island —Dave has become a Nova Scotian-by-choice, building deep ties to the province through its Celtic culture.In this episode, Dave takes us on a whirlwind 24-hour journey around Cape Breton, from the Sydney waterfront to the Cabot Trail, Chéticamp, Baddeck, and the Red Shoe Pub. Along the way, he shares why Cape Breton’s fiddlers keep a centuries-old Scottish tradition alive, how Celtic Colors connects musicians from around the world, and why Nova Scotia’s music feels like “pure joy.”Find the podcast recordings of Dave's radio show, Kitchen Party Ceilidh on all the major streaming apps.____________________________________Global Bluenosers is brought to you by Halifax Stanfield, Atlantic Canada’s airport hub working to accelerate the growth of our communities by connecting people and goods to the world.
