Bio
Derrick & Melody Cameron Derrick and Melody Cameron have performed together across Cape Breton, the Maritimes, and the New England states. They have played at the Stan Rogers Folk Festival, the Washington Irish Folk Festival, the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention in Aberdeen, Scotland, and many Celtic Colours International Festival concerts and play for many dances, pubs and concerts. Melody and Derrick were featured in the Genuine Pictures documentary, "And They Danced", which premiered on Canada's Bravo! network in January of 2006. Melody is also an accomplished Cape Breton style step dancer. She has performed synchronized step dance routines with her sister Kelly at venues throughout Canada's Maritime Provinces. In the 1980's, Melody and Kelly appeared on four episodes of CBC television's, "Up Home Tonight" and also were filmed for a BBC documentary. In the spring of 1998, Melody worked as a choreographer for The Rankins, one of Canada's foremost folk groups. Years later Melody and Kelly performed a synchronized step dance routine for The Rankin Sisters' televised Christmas special, "Home for Christmas" which aired in December of 2005. In early 2004 Derrick and Melody Cameron joined Comunn Féis Mhàbu. Féis Mhàbu works to support both children and adults in their pursuits to learn more about Cape Breton's Gaelic culture. Derrick and Melody Cameron are currently acting as the coordinators for a Féis Mhàbu project named "The Mabou Musical Mentorship Program" that uses house sessions to bring together talented young performers of Cape Breton music and dance with well established tradition bearers. Derrick is the current chairperson of Comunn Féis Mhàbu.
