Gaelic and the Stage

Am biodh tu airson feuchainn dealbh-cluich a stiùireadh? An gabhadh cothrom dealbh-cluich no àrd-ùrlar a dheasachadh do shùil? Thig còmhla rinn aig ‘Gàidhlig agus an t-Àrd-ùrlar’ far an ionnsaich thu beagan mu eachdraidh dràma na Gàidhlig, sgrìobhadair no dhà a tha inntinneach, agus an uairsin bidh cothrom agad àrd-ùrlar agad fhèin a dhealbhachadh. Cuiridh an seisean seachad ann am Beurla – freagarrach airson luchd-labhairt agus luchd-ionnsaichidh na Gàidhlig.

Come and join in our regular monthly singing group during Seachdain na Gàidhlig and learn a variety of songs from popular cèilidh songs to lullabies and from work songs to puirt-a-beul – something for everyone!
Our group started with a small grant from Seachdain na Gàidhlig back in 2023 and we have continued to go from strength to strength. Everyone with an interest in Gaelic song is very welcome, from those who don’t have any Gaelic (yet!) to fluent speakers and everyone in between. Help is given with pronunciation and tunes. We sing a few songs, then have a sociable tea/ coffee break and then sing some more. Can’t stay for the whole two hours? No problem – just come along for the first hour. Hope to see you there!
