Best Place To Hear Celtic Music

“Barrett’s Privateers” is to Halifax what “It’s A Small World” is to Disneyland. But if you want a more authentic Celtic experience, the Old Triangle is for you. Owned by celebrated musicians Evans and Doherty, who still play there on occasion, the Triangle is also a popular hangout for groups such as the Shearwater Pipe Band, says manager Jeff McLatchy. “So you never know when you’ll be piped out of the place.” 5163 Prince, 492-4900
