Nova Scotia

You weren't exactly sure what to expect. An image of people chatting around a kitchen table, eating chips and dip, was your first thought. When you arrive at the "kitchen party" you see half the guests are holding musical instruments. And they're not all crammed into the kitchen. They're on the sofas, the rugs and the windowsills – filling up any available space where they can sit, lean or stand.

When the music starts playing, everyone starts singing. Dancers' feet fly. It's enough to bring the family photos off the walls. You clap along to the jaunty rhythm; sing along to the spirited refrain. Now you've never considered yourself a musical person, but in Nova Scotia, there's no other option.
