Bha Fèis air an Oir air leth toilichte a bhith an sàs ann am pròiseact dualchais ann an co-bhonn ri Taigh-tasgaidh Srath Nabhair agus le taic bho Mhaoin a’ Chrannchuir Dualchais.  Tron phròiseact ionmhalta seo chaidh rannsachadh a dheanamh air na puirt a chluich agus a rinn pìobairean Dhùthaich MhicAoidh a dh’ fhalbh a shabaid anns a’ Chogadh Mhòr.  Gheibhear fiosrachadh a bharrachd mun phròiseact an seo agus tha fiolm goirid mun phròiseact ri fhaicinn gu h-ìosal.

In 2015 Fèis air an Oir was delighted to be involved in a music heritage project in partnership with Strathnaver  Museum and with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.  Pibrochs and Poppies was an innovative project which researched the tunes played and composed by pipers who fought in World War One.  Full details on the project are available here, and a short film about the project is available to view below:
