Guth nan Gael
With support from Colmcille, a fund managed by Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Fèisean nan Gàidheal is delighted to announce that the cultural exchange with the Oriel Centre in Dundalk, Ireland will again take place in 2019, building on the success of previous exhanges between the two organisations.
This summer, we’re looking for six young musicians and singers, aged 14-18 and fluent in Scottish Gaelic to join six Irish speaking young musicians for a week of cultural and language events in South Uist.
There will be language, song and music workshops, cultural visits and the chance to perform together, led by talented musicians and tradition bearers, with the aim of strengthening the language and cultural ties between the two countries.
Uibhist a Deas
This year’s project will take place on 24 – 28 October in South Uist. There will be plenty of opportunity to spend time with other young musicians from Scotland and Ireland and take part in a number of cultural activities.
Participants
Are you:
- 14-18 years old?
- A fluent Gaelic speaker?
