WHAT IS … THE ROLE OF GAELIC IN THE TRADITIONAL ARTS?
with BRIAN Ó HEADHRA

Tha a’ Ghàidhlig air a bhith aig cridhe traidiseanan òrain, bàrdachd agus sgeulachdan na h-Alba tharais na linntean. Anns a’ bhùth-obrach seo, bidh an seinneadair agus an t-oideachaiche ainmeil Brian Ó hEadhra a’ roinn beachdan air a’ chànan, a co-theacsa cultarail, agus a’ bhuaidh a th’ aice air ceòl traidiseanta an-diugh. Tro dheasbad agus eisimpleirean, tha cuireadh aig com-pàirtichean bruidhinn air òrain agus traidisean na Gàidhlig ann an dòigh fhosgailte agus ruigsinneach.

Scottish Gaelic has long been central to the song, poetry, and storytelling traditions of Scotland. In this workshop, acclaimed singer and educator Brian Ó hEadhra shares insights into the language, its cultural context, and its continuing influence on traditional music today. Through discussion and examples, participants are invited to engage with Gaelic song and tradition in an open and accessible way.
