Celtic Arts Alliance

The Celtic Arts Alliance was formed in 2000 to help promote the Celtic arts in Vermont, bringing performance greats such as Jerry Holland, Beth Telford, Mairi MacInnes, Sandy MacIntyre, Hamish Moore, Finn Moore, Jennifer Roland, Willy Fitzpatrick, David Kershner, Mance Grady, Tony Demarco (pictured at Shelburne Farms below) and Ian MacHarg to an enthusiastic Vermont audience.  Doug and Heather Morris partnered to create the Celtic Winter Gathering Scottish and Irish Dance Competition, which was written up in Celtic Life International, Irish Dance Magazine, and Irish Times.  The Celtic Winter Gathering has hosted Anthony Santoro, Joanie Madden, Brian Conway, Billy McComiskey, Brendan Dolan, and Mark Sustic's Young Traditions

Celtic Company
Doug and Nate have been performing for Heather Morris' Celtic Company dancers for nearly a decade, with a focus on jigs, reels, marches, and strathspeys for the dancers.  Many tunes are from the not-so-easy world of Celtic music, played at rapid, in-time, and consistent rates (No, not that!).

GAELIC COLLEGE FOUNDATION AND SUMMER SCHOOL
Doug studied at the Gaelic College in Cape Breton with Graham Mulholland, Angus Macleod, Finn Moore, Michelle Stewart and others, which led to the creation of the Gaelic College Foundation and Summer School in 2004, where he was honored by the Queen's Representative, Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor, Myra Freeman.
