The group appeared regularly on CBC television on "The John Allan Cameron Show" and other programs.

Chisholm was born in Margaree Forks, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 1908. He died in the United States in 1979 and was laid to rest in his native Margaree. His early recordings have now been released on tape.
