Cape Breton Piano: Stephanie Wills
Stephanie Wills is from Creignish, Cape
Breton, and has played the fiddle and piano since
1980. She has been teaching Cape
Breton fiddling and piano in Inverness County for
six years and performs extensively throughout
Nova Scotia.
She teaches at
The Gaelic College of Celtic Arts & Crafts in St Ann's.
I havn't found an example of her playing piano on her own records,
but she plays piano and fiddle on
Margo Carruther's album Tàlant nam Bàrd.
She can also be seen and heard on the video from
Fiddler Magazine
called "Carrying on the Traditions; Cape Breton Scottish Fiddling Today."
where she comps for Brenda Stubbert.
