original cast members and newcom

pay tribute to this beloved piece of
Canadiana in true Messer style.
Renowned fiddler Scott Woods,
1998 and 1999 Canadian Open
Grand Master Fiddle Champion ,will
be joined by Mark Sullivan.
Sullivan, like Woods, holds several
titles including 2000 Ontario Open
Fiddle Champion and placed second
in the 2000 Canadian Grand Master
Championships. He will take the
place of Cec MacEachem on guitar
and fiddle. They will join Messer
alumni Sandy Hoyt who was the host
of the show from 1969-1971 when it
was telecast from Hamilton.
