    Flying On Your Own recalled ANDREA NEMETZ ARTS REPORTER Published March 7, 2014 - 9:28pm Last Updated March 7, 2014 - 9:29pm Collaborator heard MacNeil’s hit decades ago; now he leads orchestra in tribute Late Cape Breton songstress Rita MacNeil will be honoured this weekend in two Symphony Nova Scotia concerts Flying on Your Own: A Tribute to Rita MacNeil. The singer died last April at the age of 68. (FILE) Scott Macmillan thinks he was the first person to hear Rita MacNeil’s classic ballad Flying On Your Own. “There was a wonderful group of us that would play at the Middle Deck,” recalls Macmillan, a longtime collaborator of the late Cape Breton songstress. “We did several nights at a time. The band was hot — Allie Bennett on bass, John Alphonse on drums, Ralph Dillon on keyboards and myself on guitar. “One night, Rita came in early and said she had some songs she wanted to sing for me. The four songs were all good, but Flying On Your Own stood out.” Released nearly 30 years ago, Flying On Your Own was the biggest hit for the beloved Big Pond singer-songwriter, who died April 16 at the age of 68. She sang it in her last performance, on March 9, 2013, with Symphony Nova Scotia, in a concert that was part of the East Coast Music Award celebrations. A year later, Symphony Nova Scotia will honour the three-time Juno Award winner with Flying on Your Own: A Tribute to Rita MacNeil. Shows are tonight at 7:30 p.m.

  • The Rankin Family Live at the Red Robinson Show Theatre
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 11, 2011 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS THE RANKIN FAMILY LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, JANUARY 27 Coquitlam, BC – It was in 1989 when Cape Breton siblings – Raylene, John Morris, Jimmy, Cookie and Heather Rankin – began touring together professionally when just a year later with the independent release of their second recording, Fare Thee Well Love, they were signed to Capitol/EMI Music. After the label re-released the album in 1992, it quickly went on to become a platinum seller with the title track finding its way to the Disney film, Into the West. The following year, they released North Country which featured the popular title track along with “Borders and Time” resulting in another-multi platinum success for The Rankin Family. Their music crossed over many musical styles earning them a fast growing following as well as industry accolades that included six Juno Awards and fifteen East Coast Music Awards. Both Grey Dusk of Eve and Endless Seasons were released in 1995 followed by Heather, Cookie and Raylene’s best-selling Christmas album, Do You Hear What I Hear. In 1998, the group released their final album together … aptly titled Uprooted. The following year, they decided to go their separate ways … each pursuing their own interests and musical projects. It wasn’t until eight years later that in 2007, they released their Reunion album and the family soon set out on a cross-Canada tour with niece Molly Rankin – daughter of the late John Morris – completing the line-up. It was as though no time had passed … night after night, audiences welcomed them back into the fold.
