Programme - Hebridean Celtic Festival on iPlayer

A' chàirdean, tha sinn air tilleadh bho na h-eileanan siar!  Chòrd an Fhèis glan riunn uile.  Tha prògram air Fèis Cheilteach Innse Gall 2010 ri fhaighinn a-neisd air iPlayer.  Tha prògram eile gu bhith air BBC ALBA cuideachd an ath-sheachdain.

Hi folks, we have just returned from the fantastic Hebridean Celtic Festival 2010 - what a brilliant event, and we had a ball.  A few tracks from our set are featured in a program about the Festival which was broadcast on Saturday night, but which is now available on iPlayer for a week.  There will also be another program about the festival being broadcast next week on BBC ALBA.  Here's the link!

Also check out the gorgeous neck piece I am wearing on the TV - designed especially for me by young, award winning designer and silversmith Amy C Mackay from the Highlands.  I will be wearing her work all summer.  Check her out - her website is http://amycmackay.com/

Great to meet so many friends - old and new - over by.  Sad that it's over for another year!  *sigh*

Big thanks to the fantastic team, crew and volunteers who make the festival such a joy. 

Love, Julie x

Hope to see you at a gig along the way :o)

Deagh dhùrachdan, Julie x
