Gaelic Gathering
Ceangalaidhean Coimhearsnachd will be a community celebration bringing together children from Bowmore Primary School’s Gaelic classes and Sgoil-Araich, their parents, teachers, and the wider Gaelic speaking community from Islay and Jura. Children from Islay High School Gaelic class and their parents will also be invited. The event will take the form of a traditional cèilidh — an afternoon of traditional music, song, highland and cèilidh dancing, and refreshments — showcasing local Gaelic talent and heritage. Activities will include performances by school pupils, community musicians, Islay High School Trad Band and a local cèilidh band who will provide the music for dancing. Throughout the event there will be opportunities to for everyone to connect as a Gaelic speaking community.
