New Gloucester’s Village Coffeehouse will host the Maine Highland Fiddlers at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3. The group is part of the traditional Celtic music revival that thrives throughout the North Atlantic rim. The music of Scotland, Cape Breton, Ireland and the Shetlands resonates well with the rich heritage of Maine’s early Celtic settlements. Along with fiddles, the group includes guitar, bodhran and piano. The group of seven musicians gathers from throughout southern, western and mid-coast Maine to perform, pass on and renew the Celtic fiddle tradition in Maine. Their music recaptures the kitchen party atmosphere that is central to the Celtic tradition. Tickets at the door are $10.
