Bluenose: The Legend Lives

Bluenose: The Legend Lives is a unique and entertaining documentary about Nova Scotia’s iconic vessel.

The show is a mix of historical context, compelling story-telling and musical gems by Bruce Guthro, Joel and Bill Plaskett, Old Man Luedecke, Fiona MacGillivray, Shannon Quinn and The Eastern Belles.
