When visiting, make sure to view the step dance clip of Melody Cameron in the "Dance" section, and take time to listen to the sound clips of the new CD by Melody and Derrick Cameron, "When There's Music...". Guest artists on the this CD include J.P. Cormier, Joel Chiasson, Colin Watson, Jim Watson, Lisa Cameron and Stanley "Doc" MacNeil.

Melody and Derrick Cameron are from Mabou, Cape Breton Island. Their performances offer traditional violin and step dance by Melody Cameron with celtic guitar accompaniment and storytelling by Derrick Cameron. Derrick Cameron and Melody Cameron are the founders of the Celtic group, Triskele. Triskele performances include Cape Breton style fiddle by Calum MacKenzie, piano accompaniment by Joel Chiasson and the singing of traditional Gaelic songs and puirt a beul by Colin Watson. Triskele shows have occasionally featured performances by singer/songwriter, Lisa Cameron or singer/guitarist Matthew MacLennan. Melody and Derrick and Triskele have played many venues around Nova Scotia and beyond including Celtic Colours International Festival events.
Melody Cameron is also a well respected teacher of the Cape Breton style of step dancing. Melody has given instruction in solo step dancing and does workshops in the Scot's Four and the Inverness County Square Set. It is this experience in step dance instruction that has given Melody Cameron the opportunity to work with such artists as Malke Rosenfeld of "Cucanandy" and Mabou, Cape Breton's "The Rankin Family".
