Allister MacGillivray is a Canadian singer/songwriter, guitarist, folklorist, author, record producer, and music historian. His songs are largely Celtic in style and Maritime in flavor, including Away from the Roll of the Sea, Here’s To Song and his best-known work, Song for the Mira, which has become a standard in the Celtic repertoire and something of an anthem in Nova Scotia. Written in 1973, its lyrics speak of a longing for, and eventual return to, the serenity of the Mira River region of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
