Fear an Taighe: Donnchadh MacCàba

’S e bàrd is sgrìobhadair Gàidhlig a th’ ann an Donnchadh, agus bidh e ag aithris bàrdachd agus ag innse sgeulachd no dhà tron oidhche, agus tha sinn an dòchas gum bi cuid dhibhse a bhios an làthair deònach dàn, sgeulachd, no fiù ’s òran, a ghabhail cuideachd – ach dìreach ma thogras sibh!

’S e oidhche gu math neo-fhoirmeil a tha gu bhith againn, le teatha ’s cèic na lùib, agus cothroman airson cabadaich còmhla ri chèile. Na bi diùid! Thigibh ann! Bidh fàilte bhlàth romhaibh uile.
