Cliff McGann
Cliff McGann grew up between the best of both worlds. Raised near Boston, where his Irish grandparents freely shared stories of the old country, he spent summers on his Scottish grandparents rural Nova Scotia farm.

He is presently preparing his first book, on the life of renowned Nova Scotia fiddler/composer Dan R. MacDonald for publication
Cliff performs regularly as a member of the The Boston Kiltics, a celtic music and dance troupe who perform at schools, libraries and festivals.
